Taking care of your health doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Small choices—like drinking more water or adding a serving of vegetables—can add up to a healthier, stronger you. Simply resolve to do one thing for your wellbeing every day.
Do One Thing for Preventive Care
Regular checkups, screenings, and vaccines can lower your risk of serious illness, save money on future medical costs, and keep you feeling your best.
- Schedule your annual exam. Then ask your provider what preventive care is right for you…and get it done! USPSTF-recommended preventive services are covered at 100%.
- Floss every day. Practice good dental hygiene at home and get routine dental cleanings.
- Protect your vision. Use safety eye wear when appropriate and get an annual eye exam.
Do One Thing for Your Mind
Reduce stress, develop resilience, and improve well-being by prioritizing time for a reset.
- Find out what “mindfulness” is all about. Try a free self-care app, such as: Calm, Smiling Mind, Oak, or Simple Habit.
People who begin with small changes—like taking a 10-minute daily walk—are more likely to build momentum and develop lasting habits.

Do One Thing for Your Body
Even small steps toward better physical health increases strength and endurance.
- Move more. Turn off the TV and take a walk, stretch, or exercise this evening.
- Swap processed foods for whole foods. Instead of a burger and fries, make it a green salad.
- Get 8 hours of sleep tonight. Unplug screens, avoid caffeine, and go to bed on time.
- Do what you love. Make time for hobbies, reading, cooking, or other activities you enjoy.
- Get together with friends. Meet for a walk, connect over coffee, or play a game of pickleball.
