"I’ve changed my work schedule to do what’s best for me."

I am practicing choosing and celebrating me. So I’ve changed my work schedule to do what’s best for me. I’ve been more vocal about my thoughts because my thoughts and opinions are just as valid. I actually also downloaded the headspace app and intend to start using it weekly on sundays to start. This is my favorite because I am learning a new, healthy habit.

“My recommendation is to find a friend and do this together.”

I did a lot of self-growth during this 21-day challenge. Not only did I learn some great mindfulness techniques from Elizabeth, my interactions with the others in the group helped me feel empowered (and less alone) in my journey. My recommendation is to find a friend and do this together. I found it strengthened my friendships with those who were in the challenge along with me and it helped me stay committed to my mindfulness practice. I should note that my "mindfulness practice" was essentially created from scratch during this challenge - but I developed a few habits that I am hoping to sustain! :)"

"This experience has helped me focus on the unconscious loop."

This experience has helped me focus on the unconscious loop; make plans for what I can change, let go of what I cannot. My biggest takeaway is to accept my thoughts and feelings. Accept that they are okay, whatever the feelings are–acknowledge them, and move on!

"I loved all the different ways I was challenged to integrate mindfulness into my day-to-day."

I think my biggest takeaway has been the reminder that mindfulness can be a constant practice, if you allow it to be. I loved all the different ways I was challenged to integrate mindfulness into my day-to-day and am looking forward to doing these practices in the weeks to come. I’m looking forward to Elizabeth’s continued wisdom.
