Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Max Caruso 10/24/2018 12:45 PM

This has been a good reminder for me to routinely reinforce positive habits. It’s been fun to learn about this format of online “challenges”. I’ve learned a bit and enjoyed seeing the progress of others. Glad Slow Food USA gave us the opportunity to get involved!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Eat Mindfully

Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

Max Caruso 10/24/2018 7:08 AM

Eating mindfully allows me to enjoy the full flavors of what I am eating. It also allows me to be conciliatory thankful for the good, clean and fair food I have available to me and reminds me of the efforts ahead to bring those same food choices to everyone!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Less Screen Time

What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?

Max Caruso 10/15/2018 12:10 PM

It has been easy replacing screen time with outdoor time. It is a beautiful time of year to be outdoors and my senses are much more stimulated by walking in nature than tapping on a smart phone screen!

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?

Max Caruso 10/13/2018 2:36 PM

Daily walks benefit me on so many levels. Hearing the birds, seeing the clouds, feeling the breeze, smelling the flowers all make a day that much better. Time spent walking in nature is simply time well spent for me. Doesn’t hurt that there is beautiful coastline, redwoods forests and amazing parks nearby. I feel fortunate to have the time and space to enjoy walks daily.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Limit Social Media

Social media is a great way to keep us connected with loved ones, makes us laugh, and helps us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days now, how do you feel? What do you notice?

Max Caruso 10/13/2018 2:31 PM

My days without heavier social media have been a joy! Nice to have a conscious break from everyone else’s new. More time to be present in my own daily activities. Brilliant!
