REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Healthy SleepConsider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?
Natalie Hoffman 10/23/2024 10:58 AMIt's a lot easier to make sustainable choices when you're well rested, but my night owl tendencies keep me up later than preferred. I'd like to shift my mindset around what counts as "late" so I start winding down earlier. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Natalie Hoffman 10/23/2024 10:13 AMThe decluttering process has allowed me to see more clearly what things I would use or treasure and what things will turn out to be just garbage. If I am more picky about what I bring in, I will get better use out of those few items / treasure them more. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Go for a Daily WalkFresh 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?
