    i also notice that by changing how i do certain things, i actually wanna keep doing these to make my environment a better place. it helped better myself in and out. i eat differently, i drink more water, i workout and i realized that i think differently as well.

    throughout the challenge, i was shocked at how i actually followed the challenges that i chose to do. i thought it was going to be hard for me to get used to doing things differently but i felt natural for
    me to avoid certain things.

    meditate really helps me stay calm in my sleep amd throughout the day. i stay within myself, i process and react better to certain things than i did before. i just want to learn more about the different ways to keep myself in the right spirits/energy

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    it does surprise me to see that people waste food ao much. i could use this money towards my tuition! ever since i’ve been in college, i’ve been trying to meal plan because i need to save money and i realized that i’d also be saving food
