  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    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?

    I decided to spend a few minutes by reading a book. Implementing it was not a challenge whatsoever. Less screen time and more book time is a win win.

    Practicing gratitude everyday helps to keep a positive mind set. 
    Journaling everyday and jotting down points has always helped.

    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    Inculcating a new habit is a feel good factor and following up with that is a sign of growth. Using a re-usable cup helps to reduce a lot of waste.

    Tending to the homegrown baby tomatoes in the terrace garden. Being able to spend atleast a few minutes among plants, helps to calm the mind. It is a stress buster for me.

    Eating healthy is a way of life, the more nutrients the body receives, the more it is going to thank you.
