&#8220;Make it a habit.&#8221;, what would that mean to you? Maybe something you do daily or weekly, and consistently. Maybe it&#8217;s a thing you do without thinking about it \u2013 you just do it, because it&#8217;s an acquired reflex and a trained practice that becomes easier over time and even part of who you are or how you identify yourself. All of this may fit your idea of what a habit is, but actually making something a habit \u2013 the how of it \u2013 is more difficult than it sounds. It requires time, dedication, and embedding it into your already-busy lifestyle. So how can we make something inherently complex and difficult to achieve, like embedding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our existence as individuals and a global population, a habitual reality? Well, there&#8217;s no easy answer (otherwise the SDGs would have been reached already). The good news is that habits, by the very nature of what they are, would be sustainable! But getting the SDGs to become a habit calls for approaches that are manageable, scalable, and collectively meaningful.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24819 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1716775979070.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1716775979070.jpg 480w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1716775979070-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1716775979070-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff81f2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ff81f2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Sustainable Habits Of Mind<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df6ecec elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df6ecec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Br\u00fajula Educaci\u00f3n<\/a> introduced me to the idea of the Sustainable Habits Of Mind \u2013 a collection of mindsets that help our thinking focus on systems and sustainability.

With this in mind, it is important to &#8216;value the unseen&#8217;. Many of our actions are connected to measurable indicators, and actions related to people are no exception. However, when we think of the qualitative or even immeasurable factors of human existence \u2013 knowing that what makes us who we are is an overlapping collection of thoughts, ideas, feelings, experiences, and behaviours \u2013 it helps us understand that the People SDGs are large concepts with uncovered and sometimes unobservable parts. This implores us to &#8216;get perspective&#8217; about the lives of others, investigate their lived experiences, and gain their insight surrounding the very problems in their communities that we or they may be trying to solve.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3af5e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c3af5e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Connecting the Habits to Prosperity<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac4d967 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac4d967\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second pillar is Prosperity, centering around the development of individuals and societies in harmony with nature through the SDGs: affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, and reduced inequalities. Prosperity is often tied to economic gain, which does have profound impacts on other aspects of prosperity relating to human development, but the economy does not need to be driven in one way only. When we &#8216;look for loops&#8217; within the human-planet interaction and any resulting prosperity, we may start to see that prosperity can come about in a myriad of ways and could utilize economic systems different in focus from what we have today, such as sustainable, circular, and regenerative models. This asks us to &#8216;change our mind&#8217; when faced with alternative avenues through which our economy may thrive; mechanisms that include the improvement of our planet and human wellbeing by design.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a101ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a101ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Connecting the Habits to Planet\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90d15a1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90d15a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third pillar is Planet, centering around the health of the Earth and, by extension, the people that live on it. It connects to the SDGs: sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, and life on land. Our planet is an intricate and quite spectacular system. And it is sustainable! Well, at least without human impact. But, just as we have shown that we have the power to disrupt Earth&#8217;s system, we also have the power to intervene for the correction of its balance. The best part about looking for complex solutions to wicked problems is that we can &#8216;learn from nature&#8217;; if Earth as a system, with its subsystems, are all self-sustaining (in the absence of quick and large changes induced by humans) then we can consider it to be a model of excellence and a blueprint upon which we can base the innovative solutions we seek to achieve. If we &#8216;think beyond the here and now&#8217; to understand that both the disruption and solution-focused intervention to this complex Earth system doesn&#8217;t only span vast amounts of space but also across time, we can factor in the scale to which our changes to the system may manifest, from the past and toward the future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d991d63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d991d63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Connecting the Habits to Peace<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fbf42f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fbf42f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth pillar is Peace, centering around the interplay between justice, law, and an inclusive society, free from debilitating inconsistencies and discrepancies and with fairness at its core. It connects to the SDG: peace, justice, and strong institutions. Not only does this require frameworks and structures that support peace in societies, but it also asks us as individuals and communities to come from a place of peace in order to understand what it can look like, both within ourselves and its impact on others. If we &#8216;focus on learning, not knowing&#8217;, we may uncover what peace looks like to us and to others, ultimately discovering that peace may look different to different people but is something we all would like to share and sustain. &#8216;Imagine the possibilities&#8217; of a completely peaceful world, where peace is the status quo and is the very quality we work toward every day to keep achieving \u2013 we may find that, in a world such as this, we can focus on the pieces important to our humanity rather than the pieces that dismantle it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91f8f21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91f8f21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Habitual Partnerships\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afcb8bc elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afcb8bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fifth and final pillar is Partnerships, an all-encompassing pillar that centers around the SDG of partnerships. Let&#8217;s mindmap the idea of global partnerships to see what it could look like: partnerships between the pillars of the 5Ps to have interconnected approaches to global issues, partnerships between individual SDG efforts to harness their unique strengths to solve complex problems, and partnerships between each other to showcase that our collective solutions for the whole (community) are greater than the sum of its parts (individual efforts). Here, we need to tell ourselves: &#8216;don&#8217;t stress the mess&#8217;! Partnerships will look different to one another and they will be messy. After all, the concoction of differing ideas from people of different backgrounds and different lived experiences will surely be present when partnerships occur. In fact, this should be the goal. To be messy. To have diversity. To build unrefined solutions that can be reworked, refined, and polished over time as more partners join. Let&#8217;s &#8216;cultivate connection&#8217; between all of us, across the pillars, SDGs, and each other, to gain an appreciation of the complexity of our world and a pathway to, simply, take action.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ddfd94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-infobox\" data-id=\"2ddfd94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"uael-infobox.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"uael-module-content uael-infobox uael-imgicon-style-normal  uael-infobox-left  infobox-has-icon uael-infobox-icon-above-title  uael-infobox-link-type-none\">\n\t<div class=\"uael-infobox-left-right-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-infobox-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-module-content uael-imgicon-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uael-infobox-title-wrap'><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-infobox-text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-infobox-text elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"infobox_description\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Visit The AuthentiServe Newsletter by Dominic Verwey about service learning in schools and beyond:&nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/newsletters\/the-authentiserve-newsletter-7063403954700771328\/<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5cc713 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f5cc713\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c528333 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c528333\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef8479b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ef8479b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Author<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b4cb313 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b4cb313\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4e038c2\" data-id=\"4e038c2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4036e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"c4036e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/domverwey\/\" class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Dominic-Verwey_square-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Imagen de Dominic Verwey\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/domverwey\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDominic Verwey\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Driven by family, authentic action, nature, and reflection, Dom is an international school service-learning and leadership educator with a passion for supporting those around him in developing their passions and talents for impactful action, especially young solutionary changemakers.
