    One way is to "shop my closet" for clothes and accessories that bring me "joy" when wearing or looking at.

    I think most helpful was incorporating mindfulness practice into my daily routines- for example: during work break and at bedtime.
    Also exploring additional resources to read and practice.

    Ways to incorporate other values into exercise routine:
    -listen to my audiobooks (fiction/non-fiction) while walking on treadmill. 
    -Participate in upcoming Zoom exercise sessions sponsored by our Kern Center Wellness Team- these will connect us with our colleagues
    -move my daily walks to outside when weather permits.

    Focusing on eating more fruits and vegetables has made me more intentional as I create my meal plan.
