REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity MeditateWhat would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?
Knisha Wolfgang 10/25/2018 4:17 PMI'd like to reflect more on myself and what truly makes me happy. It's easy to forget what you want, what goals you want to achieve, and what you want to accomplish by always making sure everyone else is satisfied. Sometimes, we have to stop pouring to others and fill our own cup! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Work-Life BalanceIs practicing work-life balance difficult to do? How does it feel when you first begin? How does this feel for you after 21 days?
Knisha Wolfgang 10/24/2018 9:36 PMFor me, it definitely is. I work for the company, but I also work toward my bachelors degree. IT may not seem like much, but I feel like everyday is filled with some sort of work! I've only been here a day, but I definitely needed the break. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Reduce Single-Use DisposablesBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Knisha Wolfgang 10/24/2018 9:29 PMHonestly, my worst one is singe use eating wrapping! When my husband and I are feeling too lazy to cook, we'll buy processed foods which come with all the plastic in the world... I can start making my own foods from scratch, since it'll taste better and also be better for mother Earth! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Knisha Wolfgang 10/24/2018 9:27 PMDoing outdoor exercise is a way to change up the boring gym routine and to reconnect. Having friends and family do fun engaging activities or having small competitions is a great way to add them to your health regimen. For myself, my religion is based in nature. I like to hike and to do yoga with windows open, go for walks, and make sure once a week I feel reconnected! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?
Knisha Wolfgang 10/24/2018 9:24 PMIn other places, the veggies, fruits, and other meatless options are the bulk of the meal whereas here, it is the meat. It is all about having protein, and we have been tricked into believing that meat is our only option for this or that we need more than normal. Give people the opportunities to have less meat and more nutrition training will allow people to chose meatless options that fit their dietary needs!
