Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
Enjoying the process very much and even though some days I forget to tune in and account for my challenge I am thrilled to see some new practices emerging like sitting on front perch with my cuppa and being in the garden.
I love that, Margaret! Right, a simple habit that is SUPER ENRICHING that never may have happened without a lovely prompt like this... You've inspired me... (specifically, when I smoked (gasp, I know, but I did: for a long time) I went outside and enjoyed my garden many times per day. without that bad habit, I also gave up the good one. You've inspired me to make the most of these last days and encourage the good one back... thank you!
Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Yesterday I spent most of the day in the garden, adding compost to the soil and planting summer vegetables. I felt so enlivened at the end of the day even though a bit tired.
I saw a photo gallery online of the 500+ Green Faith events around the world, on every continent! Very inspiring and informative to witness actions everywhere, not just in my lens of the U.S., but in Australia, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Kenya, England, Netherlands...all over the world!
I am Margie Abbott I live on Wauthorong Country in Geelong Australia. I was excited to see the eco challenge come up on my screen because this means that daily I will be thinking about what I can contribute to the health of EArth.
