    It was very nice to have extra time today for mindfulness. Even just reading a book and relaxing is so nice!

    How can we reduce our sugar when eating at our school's cafeteria is not a healthy option and neither is our Starbucks and we can not afford a lot of going out/meal prep? Is there any alternative?

      Best way? Pack a lunch. I know it can be time consuming, it sometimes just prepping a few lunches at once, is really helpful. Then you just grab and go.

      i second that answer! It's what you choose to do outside of your school screen time - reading a book, going for a walk, doing something crafty are all great screen-free things!

      You can reduce screen time outside of what's necessary. I played a LOT of video games when I was a student (still do). If you already spend most of your free time away from a screen — good for you!

    This week has been a little hard to limit confined sugar. I use my zero-sugar sweetener at home, but I have been craving Starbucks and it has been a challenge to not go.

    My challenge is going well. I have been carrying my reusable water bottle everywhere I go, taking shorter showers to save water, and I bought a reusable bag this week and kept it in my car so I do not have to use plastic!
