For My Flesh is meat indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed (the idea is that one must continue eating and drinking even on a daily basis, which speaks of bearing the Cross daily [Lk. 9:23]).

As far as trying to do something as it concerns taking up the Cross daily, we are to do nothing. In fact, it was already done at Calvary some two thousand years ago. On a daily basis, we should reinforce our Faith in Christ and what He has done for us at the Cross (Rom. 6:3-5; 8:2, Gal. 2:20-21, Col. 2:10-15). This is the "Truth" which we must learn, act upon, and continue to act upon, which guarantees the help of the Holy Spirit.

He who eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, dwells in Me, and I in him (the only way that one can dwell in Christ and Christ in him, which guarantees a victorious, overcoming life, is for the Cross to ever be the Object of Faith and, as stated, on a daily basis). John 6:55-56

Hmmmmm
That's not what Jesus said.
HE said:
Mat 10:38... he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
Mar 8:34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
Mar 10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”
Luk 9:23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,and follow Me.

The passage in John 6 beginning with Jesus statement that He is the "bread of life come down from heaven" is about the Eucharist. (aka: "communion")
The Cross is not the object of our faith; Jesus is the object of our faith.
To look only at the cross is to neglect the empty tomb.
We are saved because Christ is risen.

Jhn 6:53-58 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

This has nothing to do with guaranteeing "a victorious, overcoming life". It is about receiving ETERNAL life.
Jhn 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Jesus told us we would have peace, not a life of overcoming and victory. People are still being imprisoned, beaten and martyred for their faith.

You are believing in another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel (2 Cor. 11:4 KJV). The Believer picks up their cross by a act of Faith, and not a act of labor that enters the person into law (spiritual adultery) which stops the flow of Grace (Gal. 2:20-21 KJV).
