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

Trampas Wilkinson 10/03/2018 8:52 AM

Gratitude helps you stay focused on the positive things in your life and helps you to stay motivated towards realistic goals. Being grateful for many things in your life can also help you to step back and re-evaluate important things in both your life and your community. Things like community gardens, feeding the hungry, volunteering are both beneficial to the community as well as to yourself.

Day 1 is off to a good start. Turned off the power strips in the living room last night when we went to bed and only used one lamp this morning with a low energy light bulb. Made sure that anything that wasn't being used was off or unplugged when I left for work.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth

Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How do we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

Trampas Wilkinson 10/02/2018 9:42 AM

I think one of the easiest ways to cultivate a sense of gratitude in our lives is to stop or slow down and review all the things we have and all of our interactions with others. Be grateful for the things you have instead of stressing over the things you don't and be gracious towards others. Little things like holding a door, holding the elevator, letting someone merge in front of you or just smiling at someone and saying hi. Step away from the media and electronics and sit outside and reflect or meditate to center yourself and become calm.

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

Trampas Wilkinson 9/27/2018 12:38 PM

I think doing things like going for walks with friends in the parks or along the nature trails here are both ways to spend time together and spend time in nature. Along with things like hiking, swimming, kayaking, or biking.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Turn it off

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

Trampas Wilkinson 9/27/2018 12:34 PM

In Spokane the majority of our electricity is via hydro-electric dams. These are much more invasive to the animals and the environment around and behind the dams. There are energy alternatives currently under way and even many buildings are beginning to use solar panels or wind turbine generated energy located between Spokane and Seattle.
