I love the Matthew Kelly idea of choosing to do one thing that will help you be a better version of yourself (i.e. holy) How is it helping you be more mindful of God?

There were times when I gave something up only to have failed and then feeling awful because I was so weak and ruined my lent sacrifice. Now I try to incorporate something positive. …reading scriptures more, saying the rosary more, going to the Stations of the cross. I still give up something, but taking up something, gives me something more.
