Good Friday 2025 Update
Here I hold myself to account for anyone to see. Key things I'm keeping track of include daily scripture study and prayers and workout updates. Each of these things is set up to be very small at a minimum while I let the patterns become so deeply entrenched they become a part of who I am, not something I do. My minimums started out with simply saying a nightly prayer, reading and or listening to scriptures each day (at least one verse) and having some planned physical activity (even if it's just two minutes). Since starting this out I've progressed to where on average I read around a chapter of scripture each night, listen to scripture while putting away dishes from the dishwasher in the morning, say prayers while kneeling morning and night and get physical activity every day except Sunday when I take a day of rest (but still might go for a walk). I do still have misses here and there, especially when routines are disrupted - but on the whole I'm making progress and becoming more consistent. Between these tweaks and being given to much fasting and prayer for the welfare of my country and the world I've had the added benefit of dropping around ten pounds and losing four or so inches around my waist this year.
