Christian Mercado

I will spend 15 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.
