  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Go for a Daily Walk
    Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

    It has been wonderful making myself take a break to go outside as a priority, and thinking about it as a priority! Making myself completley disconnect and walk around outside and appriciate everything around me, as a priority, is something that I will take with me after the challange is over! I know my dog has been loving it too!!
