#2 Free your body from... - tensity - laziness - bad speech 
Fasting does not give you emu. to be weak; look at the companions during the Battle of Bads! As for bad speech, when someone antagonizes you, say, "Verily, I am fasting. I am fasting. I am fasting." 

#3 Free your heart from... - vengeance -hatred - unforgiveness 
Learn to let go. Allah swt says in the Qur'an that those who become angry but are quick to forgive will have a reward from Allah! And remember that companion who forgave everyone before he went to bed being described by the Prophet s.a.w as a person from Jannah? 

#4 Free your spirit from... - Hubb ad-Dunya - People 8c Things 
Remember, everything in this world is temporary. Your parents, your spouse, your children, your relatives, your friends, your condo, your spiffy car, your job... everything. Use Ramadhan to detach yourself from your love for everything in this world, because in the end... Only Allah remains. 

Allabumma ballena Ramadhan!
