    The Ecochallenge has been a great exercise for me this year.  I put some priorities on my list and got myself out of my typical routines.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Healing and Renewal
    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?
    Naomi Camargo's avatar
    Naomi Camargo 10/27/2021 9:25 AM
    Active listening is a true discipline to be learned and practiced.  It is hard to fully concentrate on what the other person is saying rather than being lost in my own thoughts.  Practicing active listening is a gift of respect I can give to others, and when I do, I usually learn something.

    Food
    What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
    Naomi Camargo's avatar
    Naomi Camargo 10/27/2021 9:23 AM
    A doctor once advised me that people are their healthiest when they eat the food of the region in which they live.  Purchasing from a Farmer's Market ensures I do just that.

    How has the process of forgiving, or contemplating forgiveness, benefited you?
    Naomi Camargo's avatar
    Naomi Camargo 10/27/2021 9:22 AM
    Forgiveness is so powerful!  Though harboring resentment can feel like it holds something over another person's head, the truth is it is poison when I keep it in me.  I have been forgiven much, and it is my responsibility to forgive others.  Sometimes this is a long process, while other times it require a simple act of humility to get over my own pride.

    Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?
    Naomi Camargo's avatar
    Naomi Camargo 10/24/2021 12:10 PM
    I often take my phone to bed to "wind down" by scrolling through a few things.  I've decided to go to bed and leave my phone alone until morning- at least a few days per week.  I sure this will help with overall quality of sleep.

    They say laughter is the best medicine, and indeed a good belly laugh seems to bring nutrition to the soul.  Game night with my family is always good for a belly laugh.
