Machshava:

Teshuva 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Oros Ha'teshuvah

Description

When a subtle sense arises that we need to improve, we are starting the path of gradual teshuvah (repentance). It is better to make steady progress in conquering the yetzer hara (evil inclination) and in correcting character faults. It is difficult to sustain a reasonable level of spirituality when our teshuvah is sudden.
