Effective discipline must be enduring and tenacious. Is my discipline consistent or only when forced? Am I perceived as a weak disciplinarian?
Exercise for the day: Extend the plan you made on day two for a longer period of time, listing short-term and long-term goals and review and update it each day, and see how consistent you are; if you follow through.
I am confused as to why on the Omer App you say: "While counting the Omer, contemplate (but do not recite) the following: Netzach ShebeGevurah. So, what do we recite? What part is the Netzach ShebeGevurah and what is it? Reply
Counting every day makes me see so many things from a different angle.
So relevant and helpful
Thank you

So besides saying the blessings the actual "counting" is just reading the text underneath the blessing?
And if one forgot to count at night the next day he just "reads" the texts? And it is considered he did not miss a day (G d Forbid)

Correct, the counting recited after the blessing us the actual Mitzvah.
As you wrote, if he forgot - he just counts. According to some opinions it is considered as if he didn't miss that day.

It is so humbling and heartening to recognize that others who are ,as adults, still working on discipline and the establishment of order in our lives. Exactly the help and support that I need has once again blessed me. Reply
So in line with my thoughts today. Thank you!
The actual omer count is the number of the day. The kabbalistic equivalent is not said but rather thought of, while saying the number of the day. Afterwards, there is a text that includes the verbalization of the kabbalistic part.
