- Prioritize Bible study. Find a year-long Bible study plan (there are dozens on our Pinterest page!) and read the Bible all the way through. Already done that? Check out more Bible Study prompts.
- Streamline your wardrobe. Try a minimalist fashion challenge like Project 333, where you dress with only 33 items for a season, or simply donate clothes you no longer wear.
- Curate Digital Input. Unfollow social media accounts that make you feel bad or don’t support your goals. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails and limit your time on social media to reduce digital noise.
- Schedule Rest and Joy. Embrace silence, go for walks in nature, or set aside daily time for a hobby you enjoy. Ensure you are making time for rest and self-care instead of constantly pushing through.
