What would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?

Gabrielle Ray 10/10/2024 8:54 AM

  That’s such a thoughtful approach! Reflection is a powerful tool for self-awareness, and it’s great that you’re using it to disconnect from stress and also to think about the impact of your actions and words on others. It’s amazing how a little bit of reflection can lead to more intentional choices and better connections with the people around us.
