In additional to answer your questions"Have you ever done it"? and "is it practical"?. My answer to both questions is YES.

As a Christian or even as a human being you must face many crisis. Sometimes they seem never ending. Sometimes another crisis immediately follows just after resolving the former one. Then you have have to relearn faith, joy and kindness because sometimes crisis can rob us of our happiness and goodness.
The author’s “three steps” are things that continuously happen in life.

Some people come back from tough situations and it's amazing how one might not attribute that to divine intervention. Returning grace mostly comes when you have utterly believed in the grace bestowed upon you and you are much grateful for it. If one believes that they deserved the grace anyway they might not be attuned to returning it.

I agree that even people who aren't religious go through the stages. As for returning grace, I think that our propensity to do that depends on a person to person basis. Even if you believe that you have not received grace from a divine intervention, a person can still share that grace. Its something precious about the human condition.
