      Hi Emily,

      I've forgotten to log a few days here and there, the good news is you can go back five days prior to get credit for your actions.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Building Resilience Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    It is a beautiful thing to spend time outdoors and really breathe in that fresh air. We sort of become connected to it the longer we spend among it.

    How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?

    I joined this challenge because I think it's important that we acknowledge the harder parts of quarantine during these times.

    It makes me feel like I am there for them as much as they are for me.
