You have to think about what you can creatively repurpose, reuse, repair or even think about if you need it at all.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity MeditateWhat would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?
Lisa Incatasciato 10/14/2018 5:37 PMHow I can be kinder on a daily basis and tell people how much I appreciate them more often. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Explore My AreaHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place?
Lisa Incatasciato 10/12/2018 10:36 AMIt can help you understand where you are in the world and how it is unique. If I only worked, shopped and spent my time indoors why would it matter where I was. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Foods DietMichael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?
Lisa Incatasciato 10/12/2018 10:33 AMIt totally makes sense to me. No side effects either from eating well. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Avoid refined sugarBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Lisa Incatasciato 10/09/2018 12:37 PMAs many of you know I am 'addicted' to sugar. I have been wanting to cut back on my sugar for a long time but always fail. I hoped this 3 week challenge would give me the start I needed and being a fairly short term commitment that it would feel too overwhelming. I have failed, sometimes miserably, so far with this challenge. Now that I am not traveling I am going to really recommit myself to this goal.-
Michelle Maranowski 10/10/2018 5:53 PMGood for you, Lisa! Although, I do feel your pain. The first couple of days of my "no processed sugar" diet were tough. I craved it like crazy. A few weeks in and my cravings have lessened and I feel a bit blechy if I indulge in sweet treats.
