Tiny Habits
Tiny Habits for Better Community and Environment can include:
- Take a short walk around the block with a trash bag and pick up litter. This weekly or daily ritual will help you be more aware of how you treat your daily environment, and you never know the effect it can have on others. Sometimes just one person taking the time to make something better can spark others to take better care of things.
- Plant a tree or plant lots of trees. Find an area in your neighbourhood that would be perfect for some tall, woody plants. Planting new trees is a great way to let nature take hold again and get a group of neighbours working together.
- Create a little free library. Libraries may change and evolve, but the pleasure and joy of reading a book remain.
- Stop and say hi to your neighbours. Make a habit of doing a little more than a nod or a smile. It takes just a moment, whenever you see them out, to walk over and say hello. Create a friendlier community and help the people around you get plugged in too.
- Encourage Recycling. One of the easiest ways to improve the environment is to recycle. A community that produces less trash by using existing items to create new products is a great thing.
This concludes our series of articles, but you can continue your tiny habits to build big successes!
This week’s Tiny Habits are suggestions for Better Community and Environment.
Including tiny habits in your day can tap into positive emotions, creating a happier and healthier life. They may not seem like much, but if you practice them regularly, they can change your energy level, your fitness, your relationships, your work, your community, and your environment in big ways.
