Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
These empower my decisions because i wouldn't want to buy anything that is going to expire soon but i would choose something that is going to last a while so i can be able to use or eat it.
The small things i've done already to change the community has dramatically changed me as a person and how i should go about things in more positive ways.
