Social challenge, staying on track for me — continuously working out at the gym and seeing friends, while there.  Never stop having fun wherever you find it.  And always make at least one person smile or laugh each day.

What's helping me stay on track is the time I spend with GOD early in the morning before I begin my day..

I try to put down my phone at the park and other public spaces and make eye contact with people.  So much of human interaction has been erased by technology - like self-check out at the grocery store, QR code ordering at restaurants, etc.

I’ve watched people on dates look at their phone the whole time.  No conversation, just staring at their phones.  The art of conversation is dissolving before our eyes.  It’s all cat videos and social media.

Exactly!  Everyone I see on public transportation is looking down at a screen.  Chance meetings are where I met my husband and many of my friends.  One of the Rewards earning activities in the challenge was about the power of smiling.  It is so true!

Ignore the "noise" (which is why we've asked multiple times for AARP Community to allow "ignore"...).

Hi @WebWiseWoman , there is an ignore user option. Or are you talking ignore Individual posts?
