  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Do you feel that this fact applies to you? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

    How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

    People who practice gratitude are happier, exercise more, have less physical problems and remain more optimistic about life. Gratitude also affects intangible qualities like determination, altruism, energy, attention and social sensibilities, as well as the quality of sleep.
