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?

Jarea Fang 10/28/2020 11:32 AM

To be honest, I really like this action! Especially since we are all doing online school and online work, I think forcing myself to take my eyes off the screen is incredibly important. Some things that I like to do while taking my eyes off the screen is bullet journaling, crocheting, and reading.

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?

Jarea Fang 10/28/2020 11:29 AM

I've always had trouble with my sleep patterns: I tend to stay up too late, and feel extremely tired in the morning. This is something that I'm still actively trying to fix, but haven't found a definitely solution for. Something that I do know works is to keep to a schedule. If I have something to look forward to in the morning, it motivates me to wake up or go to sleep earlier.

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?

Jarea Fang 10/28/2020 11:27 AM

I'm always excited to go on walks because I love looking at the trees in my neighborhood. There are not that many big trees where I'm from, so seeing such big ones here always makes my day. It's a good source of relaxation for me and it helps me focus easier once I get home.

Why is voting important to creating a just, sustainable, and thriving world? In what other ways can you actively participate in important decision-making?

Jarea Fang 10/13/2020 8:08 PM

Individuals like to complain about not being able to make substantial change, but voting is one example of how we, as individuals, can push for systemic/policy change! Other ways we can help is by calling our senators/representative, protesting, and donating to organizations that we know push for climate justice in policy.

  These are great suggestions, Jarea! I wanted to find out if any climate-related initiatives were on the ballot in Missouri, so I looked up the Missouri 2020 ballot measures on ballotpedia.org. It looks like nothing climate-related is on the ballot for the November election, but there are some renewable energy initiatives that have been proposed. Interesting and important!

The weather was so nice this entire weekend! I spent most of this afternoon walking through Forest Park and catching up with friends (mask-on, socially-distanced).
