Small steps, lasting change
Many of us start the year with big spiritual goals and lose steam by March. The answer is not more willpower but better habits.
1. Start before your phone
Give God the first ten minutes of your day before you check messages.
2. Read with a plan
Pick a reading plan — even one chapter a day — and write down one thing you learned.
3. Pray on the move
Turn your walk to class or work into a time of quiet prayer.
4. Find a partner
Share your goals with one friend who will ask how you are doing each week.
5. Rest on purpose
Keep the Sabbath. Rest is a gift, not a reward.
"Discipline is remembering what you want most in the moments you want something else." — Rev Ezekiel Femengwi
Try one habit this week and build from there.
