Defining my relationship with God

I have been raised and taught and exposed to my religion's culture, traditions, beliefs and teachings my entire life. For this I am extremely blessed, however simultaneously at a disadvantage.  I have so rarely gone without a positive day, or a blessed moment that I find it hard to truly identify the moments when God's spirit is literally within me. #borninthecovenantproblems

I am not, nor should I complain. I am just trying to wrap my head around what I personally do to worship God. Granted, I could do much better at it, I am trying to give myself credit for what I think I do accomplish on a standard day.

Things I have tried in the last few months:

1. At least once a day, stop and think of my millions of wondrous blessings
2. Attempt to say a silent prayer, or meditate on God for a few minutes a day
3. Think of Christ, and seek to act as he might. Charitably, humbly, kindly, etc.
4. Be more positive, having faith that both you and others are simply doing their very best everyday.
5. Whenever making a hard choice between right and wrong, seek to identify your own ambitions for either action. Is it to make you or Him happy?

While 'reading my scriptures X minutes a day' or 'praying twice a day' is not on this list, I have noted I am more at peace with my own ability to love and appreciate God's hand in my life. Now here's to getting those more traditional daily worship check boxes filled.
