    Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    The next step would be to reduce the amount of water I use to clean dishes and brush my teeth. I need to remember to only use as much water as I need because most of time the water can be off while still cleaning all that needs to be cleaned.

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

    When I go out to eat with a friend, I definitely focus more on them than I do on my phone or the TV in the dining room and it helps me to be more present just in the conversation. And when I am by myself, it just gives me time to relax and think about my day and to say a little prayer. It just brings me more happiness rather than just shoving my face with food while looking at a blank screen.
