St.Tikhon of Zadonsk was a Russian Orthodox monk who lived in the 18^th century (1724-1783). He discusses some practical steps to struggle against sin:

1. Repent; “Virtue is not true virtue when it is not within the heart. Therefore, correct your heart and your will and you shall be good and your outward deeds will be good, for the inwards is the beginning of the outward”
2. Listen and obey the word of God
3. Arm yourself for the battle through prayer
4. Remember the presence of God
5. Avoid all occasions that lead to sin
6. Mediate upon your own death and final judgement
