  Also remember that it’s okay to have judgement slip into your mind. It’s how you handle it that determines the mindfulness. Acknowledge it and rephrase to a judgement free thought. Do not judge your judging.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

Take a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, school, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?
Summer Block 10/06/2025 8:05 AM
Yes, this is definitely possible. My roommate and I typically pick one day during the week every other week to go grocery shopping. This lowers our driving time and allows us to carpool.
