It’s almost 2021!
I love a new year & all the possibilities it holds, but I don’t love the PRESSURE of goal setting or making resolutions. No thank you!
So instead, I created a DAILY ACTION CALENDAR to take the pressure off of doing big, overwhelming goals & resolutions… and instead live each day doing a healthy inspired action.
Think of this kinda like a New Year’s advent calendar where each day you wake up to a fun action or challenge to help you have the BEST day! Which is why I called it Your BEST January.

PRO-TIPS:
✔️Check off the boxes as you go (there’s something so motivating about seeing things checked off, don’t you agree?!). Or better yet, give yourself a “⭐️” for each one you complete.
✔️Continue these activities into February & beyond and you’ll not only live Your BEST January but your best YEAR yet!! 😍
31 Daily Actions
✨1: Eat 1 meal outside or near a window for sunshine.
✨2: Brew a cup of ginger, peppermint, or fennel tea after meals to help with digestion.
✨3: Add an extra handful of greens like spinach, kale, or arugula to anything you eat today. Greens give you natural energy.
✨4: Breathe deeper. Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts. Repeat 4 times.
✨5: Do 25 jumping jacks, 4 times today.
✨6: Think of 5 things you are grateful for. Gratitude changes everything.
✨7: Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water today.
✨8: Have raw veggies for a snack today. Pair with hummus, tzatziki, or nut butter.
✨9: Focus on chewing every bite of food 15x.
✨10: Put away electronics 1 hour before bed. Less screen time means better quality sleep.
✨11: Swap coffee to matcha green tea for less jitters and more energy/focus.
✨12: Take a walk outside & appreciate nature.
✨13: Drink a mug of hot water with fresh lemon today.
✨14: Put sauerkraut on something today for gut health.
✨15: Set your morning alarm 20 min earlier for a rush-free AM.
✨16: Write a thank you note to someone & mail it. Appreciation feels good to give & receive.
✨17: Eat 2 cups of veggies at dinner.
✨18: Stand up every hour to boost brain power.
✨19: Eat all of your meals and snacks from a PLATE while SEATED at a TABLE. Mindful eating helps you enjoy food more & naturally eat less.
✨20: Make a “tah-dah” list…Think of 3 small things you did yesterday that you are proud of. Celebrate your small wins!
✨21: Do a 60 second plank, 4 times today. Your phone clock makes a great stopwatch.
✨22: Track fiber, aim to get 30g/day. When you eat more fiber, be sure to also drink more water!
✨23: Swap alcohol to club soda w/ bitters.
✨24: Change your passwords to motivating health mantras like Eat>Greens (eat more greens).
✨25: Make all meals meatless today. One idea: hummus quesadillas.
✨26: Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate & mint tea for dessert.
✨27: Take a contrast shower (alternate hot/cold).
✨28: Find a recipe for salad dressing and make your own. My favorite is cashew ranch.
✨29: Dance and jump around to your favorite song. Movement decreases stress & gets creativity flowing.
✨30: Have a piece of fruit + handful of nuts for a snack today. Nuts are loaded in plant protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
✨31: Eat seaweed today. Have sushi, enjoy seaweed snack strips, or buy dulse seaweed to use as a seasoning.
