I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
