My favorite ways to remember to bring reusable bags are to keep a few stashed in the trunk of my car and also to keep them near the door so that I see them as I head out the door.

Saving jars and creating vases by decorating them with pressed flowers or painting them.

You can practice mindfulness in the kitchen by cleaning surfaces etc with washable / reusable towels and opening the windows to let the fresh air in.
