There are obviously health benefits to eating lesser amounts of food at each serving. While not an expert, I know that digestion is a bodily function that requires energy and allowing the body to work less is in itself a win.

The biggest challenge in the last few years is the realization of the carbon footprint of traveling by air.  This has caused, for a good cause, an personal examination of how we travel and how to lessen the impact. Flying less and using offsets are options, but I am not sure they fully address the criticality of this issue yet.

Lessening the food miles!

I want to do more thrift store shopping and repair clothes rather than just buying new. I make the excuse that I am too busy and end up buying fast fashion, shopping online, etc. Thinking about finding items that still have use in local and thrift stores invites making decisions with more awareness, mindfulness and deliberate purpose -  which sounds more time consuming, but also much more satisfying than the busy, crazy way I usually rush through things and end up with junk anyway.
