We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will plant a larger vegetable garden this year.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will spend 10 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 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.)

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 120 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

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

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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