I honestly did not try the smoothly - it’s a texture thing for me - but I have been making it a point to have at least one salad a day to make sure I get my greens in. Sometimes it’s my main meal other times is a small side salad but I’m doing my best to make it count!

This task was the most challenging for me because I feel like I have so many things I am preparing for that am always on some device. But I gave myself a break for 2 hours and laughed at my observations. First those around me were always in arms reach of their device and hardly looked up. Two when they noticed I wasn’t on one of my many they put theirs down. Three the awkward what do I do now moments. Six we had conversation, we laughed and shared stories, talked about things we had to do, stuff we forgot about and what we looked forward to. Then after two hours I check my phone. While my notifications were off I received several messages from an upset mom (mine) but she was good once I responded. I don’t know if I could do this regularly, but I can try to add no screen time to my set evening routine to help me get to bed earlier.

I had a wonderful time watching a few episodes of Superstore (I have been watching throughout the summer) while coloring in a coloring book that was given to me. I didn’t rush just did my own thing. I could hear the family around me but knew I wasn’t needed and just enjoyed myself. It was nice.

I’m usually more of a journal writer but pulled out my paint kit and had fun just playing with leftover paints. It was fun. Maybe I can do this once a week 🎨🖌️

This is my most challenging task! Between fighting against my own urge to follow my partners rotating work schedule. I tend to go time blind when I’m engrossed in my tasks. I have created a night time routine which does help me gain better sleep (a light workout, shower, then bed), however, I need to move my time up to earlier in the evening. I have felt like I get better rest with this routine in place so that’s a plus. A few adjustment and I think I could get things to fall into place better.
