REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Mandy Vandeberg 10/22/2018 1:38 PMGo on walks outdoors with friends or join an exercise class with friends. Plan a quarterly hike at a new trail each quarter so that you can see your friends and at the same get some exercise and nature in. My friends and I do this in Door County - but only once a year. There are many outdoor parks and trails to explore. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat 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?
Mandy Vandeberg 10/22/2018 1:36 PMThis was easy for me. I love to read and find that screen time cuts into my reading time- so I was extra diligent that I turn off the TV or phone 15-30 minutes earlier so that I can get some reading in before I go to bed. This is something that I plan to keep up long term and increase the reading time day by day. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Mandy Vandeberg 10/22/2018 1:33 PMBy being thankful for others and appreciating their impact in your life, it helps you to be happier and that energy helps you in turn be a blessing to others. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Eat MindfullyMindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?
Mandy Vandeberg 10/22/2018 1:31 PMI find that I appreciate the food more- taste and quality and it is more relaxing rather than trying to do cross off another task on the list, or not thinking about the fact that I am eating as well.
