    I would like to invest more time reflecting on my mindset and making a habit of being mindful always, not only during meditation.

      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.

    How can practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation be helpful to the health of the environment?

    Practicing loving-kindness meditation allows you to be fully in the present moment. After, you may have increased mindfulness and notice aspects about your environment and its health that you may not have noticed before.

    Notice how much time you were spending checking email outside of class or study time. What changed for you when you created space away from your inbox?

    When I created a space away from my inbox, I was able to focus better on what I was studying/getting done.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Do you know where your campus or community gets its water? If not, how could you find out?

    No, I do not know where my campus gets its water. I could find out by looking it up or asking my ENV 101 teacher.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health
    What surprised you most about the products you use in your home?

    What surprised me the most about the products used in my home was how toxic they can be. One of the main things that came to mind was pots and pans that are Teflon-coated. Teflon is a forever chemical that, when overheated, can release toxic fumes and respiratory issues.
  • 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?

    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.
