For what felt like a good whole year on its own, January finally comes to a close. A lot of big news have been  happening around the world all within the first 31 days of this “new decade,” and we can only hope for better days ahead. Considering everything that’s happening around, it’s easy to be disheartened and frustrated. While we cannot do much about the raging fires in Australia, the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus, sudden deaths, and the political turmoil in the U.S., the Middle East, and almost everywhere in the world, we cannot be completely helpless.

Pause. Breathe. And look within.

How have you been? Are you still on track with your new year’s resolutions or personal to-do lists? These are some of the questions I also recently asked myself. 

We may not change our external environment in a snap, but we still have some capacity to better ourselves, commit to new habits, and cultivate a healthier life. I then ask myself, what can I do? 

I propose a 2020 year-round challenge, broken into smaller tasks, that will benefit not only you, but the planet as well. Are you ready for a more sustainable lifestyle?
