REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityWhat did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
Tess Hamberg 10/23/2019 7:30 AMThis challenge helped me realize how important it is to reduce screen time in order to be more productive and present. It was difficult to choose other activities, especially when I needed a 'brain break' and naturally wanted to pick up my phone, but I chose to fill my time with reading, coloring and breathing exercises. Overall, I feel less stressed! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow do you deal with the physical and emotional stress of the big problems we face? How can you help others cope?
Tess Hamberg 10/21/2019 10:49 AMI deal with physical and emotional stress by ensuring I have a support system and strong coping mechanisms in place! I'm a huge advocate for physical activity, in any form you prefer and enjoy. Getting up, getting outside and getting moving (even in small strides) makes a huge difference to help boost your mood and alleviate mental stress. Remember - humans were built for locomotion! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Tess Hamberg 10/14/2019 7:51 AMYesterday I went for a beautiful 7-mile run in Central Park! There's nothing like 'escaping' the city within the city, enjoying nature and being active all at the same time. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Tess Hamberg 10/10/2019 12:00 PMWalking, instead of driving, allows me to slow down (literally and figuratively) so I can appreciate my surroundings more and be in the moment, all while engaging in a healthy action! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityWhat would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?
Tess Hamberg 10/08/2019 6:16 AMDuring our Mindful Monday session yesterday, I spent time reflecting on the season change and all the fun things that fall has to bring! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthWhat are the implications of access to nutritious food for a community?
Tess Hamberg 10/04/2019 11:33 AMAccess to nutritious food can have major impacts on a person's social determinants of health. Healthy food options can enhance well-being, support local vendors and improve overall health. Lack of access leads to poorer food choices and high incidence of chronic disease.
