Michelle Smiley

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
