I have been trying to write some sweet things at the end of my day in my little diary in order to appreciate the day I had and overall how lucky I am to have a good health, a nice working environment as well as a happy family. I am indeed blessed. This little exercise definitely brought a lot of positiveness in my life.

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?

bibi henna soobadur 10/18/2018 7:02 AM

It was indeed a bit hard as I am so used to staying on my phone when I am at home and watching YouTube or google news. However, nothing impossible as I am instead spending more time with my kitty cat and lending a hand in the kitchen or trying some new dishes which I am enjoying.

I make a conscious effort everyday to ensure the temp at home is maintained at 68 - 70 F and that lights in rooms not being used are turned off.

Every day I walk 2.5 - 5 KM in the morning, there is something so invigorating to hear the hush of dawn and then see the sun poking thru the clods!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Exercise Daily

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

bibi henna soobadur 10/17/2018 1:23 PM

I am sparing myself some time after work and going for a walk to the park. I find this helping me in my cardio, hence, doing some extra step in staying healthy.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Healthy Sleep

Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

bibi henna soobadur 10/17/2018 6:21 AM

I started having dinner early, hence, I get to go to bed at 10PM and wake up at 6AM. The extra 1 hour really made a difference. I am not cranky and get to focus more at work. Yayy!
