Today marks a change: my stress level is finally easing, my mind slows when I wake, and I’m carving out time for myself and the incredible people in my life. I’ll choose nourishing foods, prioritize meaningful exercise, and make room for laughter. Today is the first day of summer, and I’m ready to make the most of it.
3. Find time for myself every day. I want to practice more yoga, drink more hot tea, take naps when needed, and skip class when I need a mental break.
4. Add at least one original CFF recipe per week. The recipe should be cost-efficient, healthy, and delicious.
5. Travel to a place I’ve never been.
6. Minimize my carbon footprint and do more DIY. Inspired by friends who make their own hygiene products and live more sustainably, I want to buy in bulk, reuse bags, make spreads and dips at home, and reduce laundry frequency where practical.
7. Volunteer. Giving back to the local community is important. Volunteering benefits others and contributes to personal growth and ethical development.
8. Declare a major. This needs to be finalized—remember when my proposal got approved?
9. Find an internship.
10. Chew less gum and drink less coffee. Gum is a nervous habit and I go through too much. Coffee in the morning is fine, but extra purchases at Starbucks and other shops add up. Cutting back will save money and reduce dependence.
8. Be more confident in a swimsuit. I want to accept my body and feel comfortable at the pool or beach. Everyone has insecurities; mine are muscular thighs, and I’m working on embracing them.
9. Meet new people without judgment. I’ll try to look past stereotypes and let people be themselves.
