REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Healthy Sleep

Consider 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?

Cathleen McGrevey 10/11/2019 8:01 AM

Getting and staying asleep is my challenge. Shutting of phones and other sourses of blue light one hour before bed may help. Getting to bed at the same time each night is also something I'm trying. Waking each more at the same time is already something I practice.

What makes you feel connected to your neighborhood, your neighbors, or another kind of community in your life?

Cathleen McGrevey 10/05/2019 7:52 AM

Even with local community events, one needs to schedule the time, put aside other time takers, and be present at the event. Excited for pumpkin harvest festivals etc.

Before you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
