REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

I actually don't have to find myself in this position often. I switched to reusable bags a a few years ago because at the time I was living in California and they started charging for disposable bags. So switching over seemed like a no brainer!

  I always have bags in my car, but my husband doesn't. If we stop when he is driving, I just take the shopping cart out to the truck and load everything into the backseat and have the kiddos help unload when we get home.
  I also keep a reusable bag in my laptop bag, in case I need to grab something while at work.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Go for a Daily Walk

Fresh 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?

Adding a 20 minute cooldown walk to my run every day has allowed me time I feel I normally don't grant myself, to both reflect and disconnect from the go-go-go of the everyday. Just being able to ground myself has made me show up in a more composed and thoughtful way.
