Eleonora Vinteler 4/30/2022 7:47 AMI actually did not realise, before this challenges, how l stopped spending time outside and stopped being aware of the present moment, so I re-learned to spend time outdoors and to be mindful of the present. Also, I realised how toxic some of the cleaning products can be, so I am going to take action and pay more attention to what I buy. -

Eleonora Vinteler 4/04/2022 2:03 AMIf you work in front of a screen, make sure you take a break and look away at least every 30 minutes.Stand up, stretch and move around. When you’re in your chair, back and neck stretches can help keep muscles loose.Learn a few “chair yoga” moves and practice them for five minutes at frequent intervals throughout the day. -

Eleonora Vinteler 4/04/2022 2:02 AMThe sharing economy is an extremely interesting subject, but also timely: with what is going on at our borders, and the generosity some of us displayed, maybe there is room for reflection :)
