So I used to try to think of things to give up for lent, but then I realized things that I was giving up really didn’t make me a better person or a happier person, or make me think about God more often. So I started doing self help and ways to better myself and be a better disciple monthly. So now the last day of every month, I write a paragraph or two about what went well with my month ,what could’ve went better. Then I make a list of five obtainable things ,three words or less, that I can do better myself as a person.
Ex)
1. agape love- love others unconditionally even if I’m tired or feeling stressed.
2. Praying more- spending at least 10 minutes in the morning and evening in mediation or prayer to slow down things in life.
3. Helping others- doing one nice act daily for random stranger or friend.
 
I think we need to do more all year round and not do it just for Lent.
