1st Month of the New Year: Resolution Review

These were my New Year's resolutions. I want to check in to see how I'm doing a month into the new year.

  • Walk outside every day

  • Exercise for 30 minutes daily

  • Journal daily

  • Draw daily

  • Intervene in negative spirals

  • Vote! Volunteer! Be politically active!

  • Study smarter and more regularly

  • Ask for help

  • Take photos

  • Local or organic food
