It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?
Currently, yes, because of the coronavirus. I have been working from home for three weeks and have stuck to my schedule. During a break, I will do an extra load of laundry or clean or talk to my husband and children. This is something I can't do while working at school. If the students were still in school, it would make it difficult as I enjoy the face to face interaction so you can see when they are excited, upset, need to talk, etc.
While driving in a car, you are going too fast to enjoy your surroundings. I will sometimes talk to some of our neighbors or say "hello" during a walk which you can't do while driving (except waving). On the negative side, I noticed that there is alot of garbage (paper, cans, old tires, etc.) on the side of the roads.
Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Yes. I enjoy taking my dog for a walk so he is getting exercise but I enjoy the fresh air and sounds of nature while on a walk. If we spend at least 30 minutes a day outside for a walk or doing something outside, it is beneficial for our health and for maintaining weight.
Being grateful reminds you of what you have and where you have come from. You appreciate the little things in life and live simply. Being grateful for my family reminds me everyday how blessed I am.
