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?

    The big thing about challenges is that changing old habits is a matter of inconvenience, in breaking free of the assumptions like what to do with free time, how to do routine tasks like taking a shower with a new timeframe, getting outside in nature more, and driving less.  Those changes take a higher resolve and determination to be done.  I do feel some pride in being able to recall the new script most of the time, although when more stress was involved, like extra added responsibilities, there were a few days I forgot the changed habits.

    I like the idea of having daily goals motivated by being part of a community dedicated to improving our lives and having less impact.  This is the first day of the EC and I feel enthusiasm for making the challenge a success, personally and overall with all the other participants.
