Walking in the Spirit

What are some of the best things one can do to make certain, they are walking in the Spirit and not the flesh?
I'm thinking the top 3 would be:
Fasting
Prayer
Bible reading AND meditation


What think ye?

I think that along with this you would want to attempt to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

for example, if you fast, pray, and meditate on the Word of God, and then go spend 3 hours watching R rated movies, flirt with a married co worker, flip off someone who cuts you off on your way home from work, ect ect, you may find that your manner of living is counterproductive to walking after the Spirit.

Don't laugh but I would add exercise to the list. To some working out IS "walking in the flesh" but I find it has the opposite effect.

Guess I spend too much time on FB when I find myself looking for the "like" button when I read a post like this

I think exercise is good, it's a great way to release negative emotions, which makes you a better person

Re: Walking in the Spirit

Wouldn't the opposite of walking the the flesh be, like, you know, dead?
