Daniel kept praying by the window like always, even when it was illegal. Habits are built for the hard days.

Habits are built in easy conditions so that they hold in hard ones. He did not invent a practice under pressure. He kept doing what he had already done on a thousand ordinary mornings, and the pressure found a groove already worn in. Nobody rises to the occasion on willpower; you fall back on whatever you have already made automatic.

Choose one small daily thing and do it today, when nothing requires it. Two minutes is plenty, and boring is the point. Keep it going through the week when there is no reason to.
