We all have our own ways repenting from our sins, right? Other than confessions for Catholics and whatever ways other religions do, we have our personalized means to system our daily routine not to commit the same mistake all over again and if not to be lessen the frequency of committing the same thing again. In my case, I often make it a habit to point out one sin to avoid in a week. I always make it a point to commit this sin in a degrading frequency like thrice a week first down to zero to forever nothing at all. How about you? How do you repent your sins personally?

Avoiding doing a sin is a good thing but sometimes we just can't avoid doing it, like lying. We just can't avoid lying until the day we die. It's like It's stuck with our whole live now. I repent by confessing my lies cuz that way, i get to cleanse myself and avoid lying as much as possible. But i can't promise i won't lie again.

I compromise. Its evident that sins could be inevitable but to show an effort to dislike would turn at to be a habit one day and you'll realize that you have fought them over. I have tried this slowly and it is effective.

You can only avoid the sins that you are aware of, you can't avoid them all. You would need to be able to see the future.

How can you repent your sins? You can only admit to the things that you know are bad, but what about those things that you don't know are bad. If you don't mention them, then does that mean that you are proud of the wrongs you have committed? If you do a confessional, and have someone say "you are forgiven" then you are only forgiven for the sins you admit to right? So for the one's you didn't admit to you would not be forgiven. What would that mean? So to answer your question, I don't name sins, because I couldn't possibly know what they all are. I just ask to be forgiven of my wrongs.
