The answer
There are sins that are more beloved than others. Learn to detach yourself from certain vanities, entitlements, and fantasies, so you can redirect your thoughts. Many people are taken hostage by their own minds. If your mind turns to inappropriate desires or fornication or any other obsessive sins, you probably have too much time on your hands and too much energy that is not properly accessed. Therefore, keep your mind and body in motion. Read, exercise, walk, volunteer, have a hobby, play a musical instrument, sketch, write, or create art from woodwork, etc. You will probably discover some hidden talent that is being buried beneath the rubbles of your straying thoughts. Be assured that since sin is a part of man's life, so are the remedies. Discover God's generosities in giving you many gifts, talents, and resources to do some good in the world, and to help you to overcome and subdue the snares in the world and the petty thoughts that entangle you along the way.
