I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 40 minute(s) each day.

I will increase my step count by 1000 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 10oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 40 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.)
