    I work out at least 30-45 minutes daily to help clear my mind and it also helps me sleep better at night.

    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    I have been cutting out sugar for a few weeks now and I feel amazing. I didn't realize how addicted to sugar I was until I removed it from my diet. It was definitely a challenge, but worth it!

    I have brought my lunch from home all week, which has created zero food waste (eating leftovers) and lowered my impact of plastic waste by using reusable food containers. Feels good!
