One of the first things I did was go through the checklist before replacing a worn out mat and a couple of props. Instead of defaulting to whatever was cheapest or fastest to order, I followed the prompts about materials and longevity, which helped me narrow things down quickly. I also used it as a reference when cleaning out my existing gear, realizing which items still made sense to keep and which ones I could responsibly pass along. The printable format made it easy to tape inside a cabinet so it stayed visible.

I especially liked how it encouraged small check ins rather than perfection. After about a week of using it, I noticed I was pausing before purchases and asking myself better questions. One morning before practice, I glanced at the list while setting up my space and decided not to buy an extra accessory I had been eyeing, since what I already owned met the same purpose.

Overall, this helped me simplify my routine both on and off the mat while staying aligned with my values. It feels supportive without being preachy, and it has quietly shifted how I approach wellness and sustainability in everyday choices 😌
