    I have been struggling with getting in enough cardio and cleaner nutrition. This challenge has helped me kick start and I feel empowered to continue!

    I tend to appreciate everything more when I spend time outdoors. A sense of calm settles over me and I feel grateful for all the blessings in my life. I also reflect back on childhood memories working and playing outside on the farm with my parents (who are no longer here) and my siblings.

    How might practicing work-life balance lead to a more sustainable life for yourself? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
