I incorporate my friends into exercising with me. I say exercise but if the activity is something such as running, hiking, biking, or climbing, and it is something a person enjoys doing, then I don’t think it is viewed as ‘exercise’ and it instead seen as something they already enjoy and happens to also be good for them. But I have recently been more into the act of intentionally exercising by trying to improve my cardio and that has been a fun challenge in itself.

I focus on the experience of eating more rather than mindlessly chewing on something. When I eliminate distractions I am more present in what I am eating and how much.

I sometimes use floss picks which have a lot of plastic for a one time use product. Instead I have been trying to use old fashioned floss string since you can get way more uses out of a roll of floss string rather than a bag of floss picks.
