If you are like many people, you may simply want to begin by memorizing the commandments. Make it a contest with a friend or family member to simply memorize the commandments in order. Just doing that, will help you, and a friend, become more aware of them in your daily life which will in turn help you make better choices each day. 

One way to memorize the Commandments and also order your life to follow and experience their joy and freedom, is by praying the Ten Commandment Prayer.
