The month of Elul should be not wasted and it should be used for soul searching, it is a time to look deep within and to be honest with ourselves in the way we are living our lives. The body is the container of the soul and sometimes through our deeds it gets soiled. Take a look at what damaging patterns you have in your life. It can be towards you or towards others and take accounting of it. Recognize it and realize that it is not right, then you will have the will to change it.
This month we increase in prayer, Torah Study and Tzedakah.
