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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 2 conversations.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 20 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will join my neighborhood association, student government, or another local group of decision makers.

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

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 spend 20 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
