On this day, I went to a fully vegan restaurant and got cauliflower tacos. It was so good and very interesting, as I was a little apprehensive, but I went all in! I enjoyed it, and also got a chai tea with almond milk.

On this day, I was particularly involved with picking up trash! In Sioux Falls, there's a lot more litter in our parks than people think, caught in fences, alongside rivers, etc. I think everyone should be involved in a task like this since the reward is so high and fulfilling for yourself.

Anxiety can be very debilitating in a world where we hear a lot of bad news, and the largest impact that I have taken is going on a walk to clear my mind and give me something to physically focus on.

Not only did I take a shorter shower, but I tried to take a fully cold shower because of the benefits, and because I just dyed my hair! I found it very invigorating as shocking as it was. Other water practices I can incorporate include being mindful of how much water I use when doing dishes and making sure to shut it off when washing a dish.

I learned about water resilience trackers while scrolling through articles and found their framework interesting. Understanding water consumption is important so we can make effective change and influence policy.

Personal strengths of mine that have helped me adapt to a past challenge include patience in a multitude of situations, which can also be beneficial in future challenges I face.
