Reflection as a Wellness Practice

Wellness

Self reflection helps us pause to create space so that we can turn inward. This is a positive wellness practice meant to help gain insight about what matters most. It can help us to understand ourselves better and as a result help us to better understand others. There are many moments in life that can inspire a person to reflect: birthday, reunion, anniversary, season or the end of the year.
