recommit
Renew one's dedication
Recommit means to commit again.
You might recommit to a goal after losing focus: After the holidays, I recommitted to my fitness routine.
In legislative contexts, to recommit a bill is to send it back to committee for further consideration.
The word also applies to returning someone to custody or confinement.
