    How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

    Practicing gratitude helps one stay centered and motivated to work for a better world because it is dedicating time, effort, and thought towards what one already has in life, rather than focusing on situations they do not have. I believe it also becomes a source of happiness because it helps one gain appreciation for their life.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    Knowing the difference I am making by switching to a reusable coffee mug is a great feeling. I think the obstacle I faced in choosing to do this was ultimately the convenience of being able to simply throw away a non-reusable mug.
