REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

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

Practicing work life balance is important especially being in college and trying to support yourself mostly on your own. By practicing work life balance it will decrease the amount of stress on my mental health and body which may help me with my procrastination. By practicing this it will hopefully lead to a stress free happy life.

I decided to pick up a book that I have been wanting to read so I finally picked it up and began reading. I also studied a bit more by not looking at tv or my phone. Of course there were times where I wanted to pick up my phone but I didn’t find the need to do so.

How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Ava DeFelice (Salem) 10/16/2023 7:13 AM
Practicing gratitude keeps me centered and motivated by focusing on what matters around me and appreciating what I have to keep me centered. Simply taking a step back and realizing what I have to be grateful for and what really matters.
