    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I try to get to the gym daily and/or do some type of activity daily but need to keep in mind there are so many outdoor activities I can do for exercise also.  Walking, hiking and biking just to name a few.  Winter is coming so getting out and enjoying the beautiful fall weather is important.  And when I'm walking, I will remember to take a bag with me and be conscious of picking up waist along my route.

    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your zipcode, and in your state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    There are so many obvious ways to reduce electrical usage in our home when we make ourselves conscious of them; like turning lights off when we leave a room, turning our hot water heater down, cut down on small wash loads and air dry clothing when possible.  Also caulking and weather striping our doors and windows for winter.
