Reflection QuestionSimplicity Eat MindfullyMindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?
Timmy Mooring 11/19/2020 10:15 AMI am a lot more appreciative and thankful of my food when I eat without distractions, and it tastes better too! I also have more time to think about things that are my own thoughts, instead of been giving thoughts by looking at a screen. -
Reflection QuestionHealth Reduce refined sugarBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Timmy Mooring 11/10/2020 9:51 AMI still crave sugar but I am able to control myself more now and avoid it or eat healthier and less sugar instead! -

Reflection QuestionWater 5-Minute ShowersName some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?
Timmy Mooring 8/23/2020 9:06 PMThe next step for me would be limiting my water usage of the sink and turning it off when I wash my face at night.
