I will spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I plan to grow a garden. My goal is to do more canning this year. My husband and I enjoy growing things from seed.

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

I will spend 10 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 15 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

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