### Daily Routine
**Morning (20–30 minutes)**
- **Scripture and Prayer** (10 minutes): Read one verse from the *Morning Scripture Prayers* list and pray the short application aloud.
- **Power Phrase** (1 minute): Speak **“I am prepared, I am whole, I am ready.”**
- **Quiet Growth** (10–15 minutes): Read a spiritual or personal‑development passage or listen to a short sermon/devotional.
**Midday Reset (10–15 minutes)**
- **Boundary Check**: Pause before engaging in relationship conversations or social media. Use the script: **“I’m protecting my peace right now.”**
- **Skill Practice**: 10 minutes on a practical skill (communication, budgeting, cooking).
**Evening Close (10–15 minutes)**
- **Journal**: One paragraph about one thing God did today and one thing you release to Him.
- **Seal with Prayer**: Short prayer asking God to guard your heart overnight and to continue preparation.

### Weekly Actions
- **Sabbath Rest**: One half‑day with no social media or romantic conversations. Focus on worship, nature, or rest.
- **Serve**: One small act of service (church, neighbor, mentoring) to cultivate humility and purpose.
- **Sharpening Circle**: 60‑minute call or meeting with 1–3 trusted friends for prayer, accountability, and truth.
- **Skill Session**: 1 hour weekly on a chosen skill (communication, conflict resolution, financial planning).
---
### Boundaries and Scripts
**Digital Limits**
- Social media: **15 minutes morning, 15 minutes evening**; mute triggering accounts.
- No late‑night messaging about relationship matters after 9 PM.
**Conversation Boundaries**
- **When drained:** “I can’t talk about this right now; I need to protect my peace.”
- **When pressured:** “I’m trusting God’s timing for my life.”
- **When respect is missing:** “I won’t continue this conversation if it becomes disrespectful.”
**Enforcement Steps**
- First breach: Pause communication for **48 hours**.
- Second breach: Seek counsel and consider removing access or stepping back.
- Repeated breach: Permanently close the door to protect your heart.

### Growth and Formation
**Spiritual Formation**
- Memorize one promise verse per week. Speak it aloud daily.
- Monthly fast or focused prayer day to recalibrate.
**Emotional Health**
- Weekly journaling prompts: *What healed me this week? What drained me? What boundary did I uphold?*
- Quarterly check‑in with a counselor or spiritual mentor.
**Practical Skills**
- Rotate monthly focus: communication, finances, household management, conflict resolution.
- Track progress with a simple log: date, activity, 1 takeaway.

### Accountability and Milestones
**Daily Checklist** (tick each day)
- Scripture prayed; power phrase spoken; 10 minutes growth; boundary upheld.
**30‑Day Milestone**
- Consistent morning routine 20/30 days; one new skill started; one boundary enforced.
**90‑Day Milestone**
- Noticeable emotional steadiness; two trusted friends in sharpening circle; one area of practical growth measurable (budget created, communication skill improved).
**Accountability Structure**
- Choose one accountability partner and a monthly mentor. Share the 30/90 milestones and report progress weekly.

### Crisis and Reset Protocol
- **If overwhelmed:** Stop, pray Psalm 46:10, breathe for 60 seconds, call a trusted friend.
- **If a boundary is violated repeatedly:** Implement enforcement steps immediately and seek counsel.
- **If doubt returns:** Revisit your 30‑day wins and read your Personalized Promise Declaration aloud.
