Hi everyone,
Lately I’ve been having a lot of prideful thoughts. Does anyone have any good advice to counter this?

Thanks!
 
Meditate on the Passion of Christ while viewing a Crucifix (praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of The Rosary is excellent for this)…and read The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis.
Pax Christi
 
There is a difference between believing you can do something and enjoying actually doing it, and bragging.

bible.cc/proverbs/27-2.htm

When we exalt ourselves, we are not humble. But if others enjoy our work, whatever it is, accept their appreciation with sincerity and with humility. And thank God for your gifts.

Peace,
Ed
 
And focus on the virtue that counters the vice that you and God would like to see less of. Counter vice with humility. Pray the Litany of Humility.

What kind of thoughts are you talking about? Is it being proud to get a project done at work or school? Is it being proud of the achievements of your child/sibling/niece/nephew in the class room or playing field?

Your post is pretty vague.
 
Thanks for all the replies. They’re usually thoughts of thinking i’m really good at something, or thinking i can do something better then someone.
