I Need to Reset

I used to devote a lot of time to spiritual practices. (I use the term loosely here.) When I did so, the results were a big improvement over my previous life. I have the tendency, however, to skip them, reduce time devoted to them, procrastinate, or let the energy devoted to them slowly fade. Sometimes this is from laziness; sometimes it's in favor of getting things done that are, in the immediate short term, more pressing. 

But that's how your progress unravels. Nor--at least in my case--does there seem to be an upper plateau that you can relax and get complacent on, one you've reached it. It's true that the further along you are, the slower the backsliding, but backslide you eventually do.

I need to begin again and devote regular, consistent time to spiritual practices.
