As we settle into this new decade, 2020 predictions will come and go. While we can’t guess what can happen outside of our control, why not make some for yourself? Predicting what kind of person you’ll be at the end of this year can lead to healthier habits. For some suggestions on how to live your 2020 to the fullest, read on!

 

Going Green in 2020 – Zero-Waste Living

 

Have you wondered how to cut down on how you affect the environment? Perhaps you already recycle those bottles and cans, but always wanted to do more. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make going green in 2020 a reality. At-home composting is a great place to start! This guide goes into detail on how to create and maintain a compost bin. Not only does this process divert food waste from the trash, but it creates amazingly nutrient-rich plant food! Try adding the finished product to ONYX Glendale’s community garden, or dress your own houseplants with compost and watch them grow and grow!

 

Self-Care in 2020 – Learning to Listen to Your Body

 

Maybe your issue is working too hard. While being constantly productive can feel great in the moment, running around without time to rest can truly take a toll. Pledging for more self-care in 2020 can help you relax and appreciate the present moment more. Take advantage of your apartment’s on-site yoga studio and add guided meditation to your day. Yoga Journal has a great resource for everything you need to get started. Another great self-care tip is to cut out screen time at least an hour before bed. The blue light produced from devices can interrupt the natural sleep cycle, disrupting your rest. Try reading a good book before bed instead! 

 

The best advice on transforming your personal 2020 predictions into reality? Being honest with what behaviors you’d like to change. Once you face those issues head-on, researching how to tweak your regular routine to begin the process will come much easier. Good luck, and have fun!
