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?

I've been having a hard time particularly with the challenge of scraping food instead of rinsing because I'm so used to it.

Action Track: Building Resilience Spend Time Outside

Ashley Tugade Tucker 4/01/2020 5:12 PM

I agree. I love being by the beach. It makes me feel connected to the world.

The opposite of this is disconnection.
