REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Well-Being

What did you notice about your thoughts or emotions during or after meditation? Did you find it easy or challenging to meditate?

Overall, meditation helps me to slow down and just be. It's enriching and refreshing to choose a passage of scripture from the Bible, read it, and meditate - or chew on its words, meaning, application, lessons, and history. Not only do I feel refocused by its words, but it also strengthens my faith. Meditation weaves the scripture into your heart in a more permanent manner than regular reading.

What was hard about having a Zero Waste Day? What did you learn about yourself and your habits?

Taking a Zero Waste day was challenging, and it made me think of all the unnecessary waste I make that could be avoided like paper towels, napkins, and plastic dishware. It actually made me eat healthier, because I avoided packaged snacks and candies and only served myself what I could eat. However, it was easy to take food from a larger package and say that I didn't make waste, even though someday it will eventually be used up and thrown away. My zero waste day cut down on quick-use packaging, but how would I avoid packaging of bulk foods or fresh food items over the long term? It was a great, but tricky experience and I would love to learn how to sustain a low-waste life!
