The "Try This" portion of the weekly message is intended to highlight simple, practical actions that illustrate how one can apply the "Habit of the Week." We are looking for actions that have a real effect, but that many people can be comfortable with sustaining over a lifetime.

Feel free to edit the initial paragraph, keeping in mind that simplicity is key. The Project New Leaves editor will have the discretion to incorporate your improvements into the weekly message.
