If all we do is stay out of the Pit, we can find ourselves living in a kind of emotional vacuum where we feel numb and empty. But after we using the Tools to climb out of the Pit we need to pay attention to what we are being directed by the Spirit to do. If we stay in the numb and empty place it is inevitable that we will fall back down the slippery slope of the Pit. The further we get away from the side of that Pit, the safer we are.
So once out of the Pit, we need to do all the good positive things that lead to us to rock solid joy. We need to pray, study our scriptures, serve others and do whatever the Spirit guides us to do in order to live in a state of happiness.
Living in Truth isn’t just about staying away from vexation; it is about living in a constant state of joy.

I have been consistent with my scripture study within the last month. I've seen little miracles and I recognize that I am more joyful! Thanks for your posts.
This is a good reminder. Thanks! :)
I find also that it is easier to stay out of the Pit when I am loving someone or working on being a better teacher, etc...rather than focused on what I am not going to do. I focus on what I am going to do.
