REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Darla Portillo 11/09/2021 4:32 PMWith this situation I just carry the items in my hands since I do have help from my partner, if it is possible just have all the items in the cart and take them to the vehicle. I always keep extra bags just in case I forgot the ones I usually use. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Darla Portillo 11/09/2021 4:30 PMGratitude keeps you motivated to work for a better world by you already having what you received and having the knowledge that a certain action or object is deeply desired by someone else. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Darla Portillo 11/08/2021 8:22 PMOne way in which I incorporate those values is by the simple action of riding a bike or going for a long walk as well as playing high intensity games like basketball.
