work life balance allows for individuals to get outside and connect with the earth that give us life!!

After checking my purchases for a month, I realized that I am purchasing fast delivered grocery very often, which makes me pay more in general and lose the opportunity to make my own healthy & reduced-waste meals. I started going into groceries for bulk purchases, selecting food mindfully and reduce my wastes. 

I used to practice mindfulness 1-2 times a week, but it was no longer a habit for me during last 2-3 months. Eco-challenge check-ins reminded me of doing it each day, I felt so much more in peace with people I integrate with, myself and my surroundings. I am sure I will continue sparing some time to wind down & breathe!

Have been picking almost only vegetarian/vegan options when going out to restaurants in New York, it's been fun trying to foods and seeing restaurants be creative with innovative dishes and flavors :) 

My biggest challenge was taking time out of my day to educate myself on a specific topics around sustainability (e.g., clearning products) or findings ways to track the carbon footprint of my purchases. But I loved the challenge and sharing my progress and sustinable behavior with my friends and colleagues :) 

I've been training for the 5 Boro Bike Tour, and this was my last training day of the month.  It's been great being outdoors... found some awesome trails I never would have known about.
