Don't live by the Flesh - Live by the Spirit

I think I know what it means to be driven by the flesh - when I get influenced too much by appetite and feelings like anger and lust and self-protecting fear. What is not so clear - probably because I let the flesh drive me too much - is how to let spirit and the Holy Spirit be what drive my will and actions and words and thoughts. Clearly loving God with heart and soul and strength and mind is a lot of it - letting such love (some say loyalty to God - loyalty is a good word) drive me in heart and soul and strength and mind. I get it that the commands in the NT are mainly Holy Spirit inspired so letting these drive what I do and say and think must be important in this.
