Developing Spiritually Mature Temperaments- Find ways to motivate yourself.
- Actively seek to comfort those around you. It’s an incredible gift you have. Don’t
allow your lack of motivation to drown this. - Translate your thoughts into actions.
- Enhance your note-writing and card-sending ministry.
- Persevere in maintaining old friendships because you’re good at that.
- Be a peacemaker––use your mediation skills.
- You must accept Christ and acknowledge that you are a sinner; a fact many
phlegmatics find difficult to acknowledge. - You must walk in the spirit each day so as to gain motivation to overcome your
passivity, selfishness, and fears; then you can become an exciting lover.^1
