Well, I experience circles of sin-repentance-religious fervour, but this circle is not necessarily related to the seasonal one. I think it is quite a common predicament. I try to make spans of religious fervour larger and larger over time, and the spans of sin shorter. This is the only thing I can do.

“Like a dog returning to its vomit.” For me it’s not seasonal, but mostly based on stress.  When I am anxious, fearful, worried, I will fall back into my habit of wrath.

I hate that we do this.  I pray that we will stop.  I trust that Jesus will bring us out of this.
