Years ago, Thor were and I were at a foodie event and attended a salt tasting. Mind-blowing! Himalayan, French, Hawaiian! Pink, gray, black! Truffle salt--yum! Who knew there were so many kinds available to us? Now I'm pretty sure I have a jar or two hidden in my pantry, so this is my opportunity to rediscover one, shake things up, and continue on my quest in this round of Nudges to de[...]
By Peggy Edwards, Guest Nudger Peggy is a long-time 52Nudger, and I was thrilled when she stepped up to be a Guest Nudger. She had a few ideas for her post, all of them fun. This one stood out. Suggested by her sister Ann Murphy (who got me to join her for her own guest post a few years ago), their Nudge is ongoing—and the two have already gone on several outings. I hope Peggy’s po[...]

I came up with this Nudge while brainstorming ways to treat all my senses, in this case touch through textures. But now that I look at it, I see a great opportunity to weed out clothing from my closet and dresser that doesn't make me feel—as in emotionally feel—good. Let the decluttering begin! What Happened: Kicked off the week in super-soft, stretchy, and flattering jeans with on[...]

By Diana Daniele, Guest Nudger Last month, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared a loneliness epidemic in our country, calling it a public health emergency. Murthy cited a steady decline in social connection and called on Americans to prioritize meaningful relationships. One of his action agenda items was so basic, yet so often overlooked: call instead of texting. So, this Nudge[...]

In a previous round, a Nudge to "Take a Mental Health Day" led to my lying in the grass and watching the clouds go by, so I wanted to do it again. And, as I was thinking about how I might delight all my senses in round 4, this checked all the boxes: feeling the warmth from the sun, smelling the grass (especially fresh-cut), looking for shapes in the clouds. You get the idea. Let's get[...]
