Not too long ago, I started praying the whole rosary every night after dinner/before bed.
I'll spare you the exact details why, because it's actually a long story leading up to what made me decide to commit that involves personal stuff as well as what is going on in the world now, but I've already noticed significant changes both in myself & beyond in the short time since: My spirit & outlook strengthening, mental clarity, more motivation where at my lowest moments before I could not even feel a will to live, others' spirits strengthening, people suddenly starting to pray & feel something who never did, more hope, positive signs, coincidences happening (not just Q coincidences, but ordinary ones in my everyday life)...
Hard to explain but feels very real. It's like a flame inside me that was extinguished relit, and now I am suddenly more capable of going on in many places where I thought I was not capable.
I encourage more people to commit to praying the rosary, too, or praying a series of similar intensity & commitment. Make the time. The rosary/deep prayer is a powerful tool of faith.
For those who are not Catholics, or even if you are, there are other Rosaries on the same beads any Christian could pray. There is the Lutheran rosary, https://www.wikihow.com/Pray-the-Lutheran-Rosary, and the ecumenical miracle rosary, http://www.ecumenicalrosary.org. Buddhism and Islam have prayer beads too. There are chaplets, personal sets of prayers. The benefit of all comes from focusing on a few uplifting thoughts and repeating those thoughts over and over to calm and open the mind in meditation. The benefits of specific sets of prayers I won't be drawn into--God calls you to some as He wills.
