Meatless Monday Tip: Involve Friends and Family 

Doing Meatless Monday on your own can be rewarding, delicious and great for the planet. Having the support of friends and family can make the process even easier and more enjoyable.

So, what’s the best way to inspire your social network to join you on your healthy eating journey?

Thanks to technology, you can quickly create a cohort of plant-based eaters through a combination of online and in-person resources and events. Whether it’s a text group, plant-based potluck, or sharing recipes (Check out NOVA’s Collection of Healthy Recipes.), there are tons of ways to encourage family and friends to participate in Meatless Monday with you. With just a few clicks, they can also subscribe to the Meatless Monday Newsletter or Meatless Monday Challenge.

Remember, there’s strength in numbers. Connecting with a group and aiming for similar goals can be extremely motivating. It can also be a lot of fun. You’ll be able to share all the tips, struggles, and insights that come with a new habit. So, reach out to your inner circle and use the methods on the Meatless Monday tip sheet to “level up”.

Remember to harness the power of checking in to enhance the success of your wellness plan.

Use the Monday Campaigns: Weekly Check-Ins

Mindful awareness, accountability, goal setting and tracking progress are evidence-based techniques that enhance the success of a wellness plan. Each week, the Monday Campaigns participants are invited to use the weekly check- Ins (Weekly Check In, March 20th) to help you:

• Remain motivated;
• Reflect on your progress;  
• Consider how you will work with your Push Pal to get the most effective results from your wellness experiences; and
• Recommit to your weekly goals.

Turn intentions into actions.
