I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Limit Social MediaSocial media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also create echo chambers and take more time than we realize or intend to give. After completing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?
Manuela Hinojosa 10/28/2024 12:49 PMBeing away from home its hard and social media its my main way of communicating but giving myself time for me to be present in the moment allows me to really enjoy my experience here. -
Manuela Hinojosa 10/28/2024 12:42 PMI love the impact that its giving on me personally. I am learning more and more while becoming more conscious about what can I do for my environment. It is gratifying to see that with everyday challenges I get to make a small change on the world. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Go For A Daily Walk OutsideFresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
Manuela Hinojosa 10/28/2024 12:35 PMI have been lucky enough to be on an exchange situation this semester and I been talking long walks while being here, and I love it! Its just time for myself to really relax and reflect on everything I am thankful for! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Manuela Hinojosa 10/24/2024 5:29 PMWaking up everyday and having my first thought being to be grateful, has allowed me to express gratitud during my entire day, I feel at peace and relaxed and happy about what I have and thankful for that. It motivates me to motivate other people to feel the same way that I feel.
