Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

I will increase my step count by 100 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.
