    I have just recently been reflecting on my sleep schedule. Tonight being a large exception to a rule of going to bed at 12-1, that both me and my partner are not getting enough sleep. Just by going to bed and being in bed at 10:30, I saw immediate effects on my performance at work and my mood throughout the day. I was doing so much better just by putting my body to rest earlier than I had been previously.

    This week I got up a little bit earlier than I normally do and, for the first time since the beginning of the term, I went to Stott field and watched the sunrise. I was reminded of early mornings in high school and driving to school. I think that being downtown has made it so that I am really busy and I get swept up so much in the "people" of it all and I get really distracted. I found it really centering and I will be doing it again.

    I got out of the habit of riding my bike but have recently gotten back into it. I really like going down to the south waterfront and around the city by bike. I often find that by biking I can get to more places faster than by walking or by bus (with some hilly exceptions) and I am generally more relaxed. Even though you are fairly exposed on a bicycle, I really appreciate the privacy that I feel when I have my earbuds in and I'm on my bike.

    I practice active listening quite often and find it really important to me to do so. I work very hard to be able to say the things I mean and mean the things I say but I find that I fill in the blanks too often and I think that that can come and bite me back. It is more important to not be waiting for your turn to speak and I think that that is what I am finding out. You can't find what you want to say before you hear what the other person has to say - in full. I have found that this is making me more sensitive and empathetic and that it has become somewhat upsetting when people don't offer me that same courtesy.

    To build off of my last entry, I actually started using less water prior to my shower and found that it doesn't take as long as I thought it did to heat up. I am not exactly sure how to estimate how much water I saved by doing this but I did it and have tried to reduce my every-day showers to be a little bit shorter. I made the change to my current hair-regiment and it has helped to make my showers even shorter but I have decided to dilly-dally less in the shower and I can now take really fast almost business-like shower. I find that I have more time to do other things and that I can fit a shower in during a really short time frame and I find that it really wakes me up.

    This week I decided to start putting a lot more of my items in the recycling and more carefully examining the things that go into my garbage. I am disappointed at how much non-medication stuff in there is made of plastic. I also have been trying to evaluate how much water I use during my showers. I have seen that my practice of letting the water heat up has been actually very wasteful and I don't know how to remedy that.

    For eco challenge 7, on consumerism, I decided to reflect on my own consumption and be more thoughtful of when and where I spend my money. Every time I've thought about buying something, I'll try to reflect on it - do I need this thing? Did I need this before I walked into the store, or do I just feel like I need it now that its in front of me? Is there another/more sustainable way of getting this thing? Is this worth my money? Will it last a long time? Would I buy it if it weren't on sale? How often am I going to use this? Running myself through these questions is definitely helpful for reducing how much I consume, and just making sure I spend my money on things that are worth it. I also try to do something similar with ads/marketing - is this something I actually want, or am I just being told I want it? I feel like in the world we live in we're taught to attach our identities to our stuff, when that just isn't the case. I am a human being, not just a collection of things that I own, and the things that I own are just things! I want to continue this habit, especially with clothing - I don't impulse buy things clothes often, but I do definitely own things that I bought and just wore once or twice.

    I’ve been taking the streetcar to the climbing gym every morning instead of driving. It is only 3 miles. But I would like to think it makes a different over time.

    I’ve been trying to make time every evening to take at least a 30 minute walk around outside. I do not put in earbuds or look at my phone, and completely unplug and look around. It has been so good for my mental health!
