Continuing to do the daily walk as a healing & renewal tool has been immensely beneficial this week. Our sweet kitty of 10 years was killed on Sunday, which completely devastated our whole family. While I honestly wanted to just stay inside and not really do much this week, forcing myself to get up & move outside - especially on such gorgeous days like today - has been incredibly therapeutic and much appreciated once I'm doing it.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Healing and Renewal Go for a Daily Walk Outside

Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

A walk is an opportunity for fresh air, movement, a time/space to clear my head & let go of any stress from work. It allows me to separate my work-self with my personal-self (in terms of where my focus may be) and process anything that I need to before I transition from work to home life (as much as that can happen these days).

I really enjoy neighborhood walks with my daughter, bike rides with my husband & daughter, and movement classes like Barre3 - all of which get me moving, more in tune with my body & bring me joy.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity De-Clutter My Home

How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?

Alexandra Eldridge 10/07/2020 11:21 AM

Instead of cleaning out areas of my house just 2-3x/per year, I want to start de-cluttering more regularly throughout the year, being more mindful in my purchases, and finding more ways to reuse items (or donate to be reused by someone else).
