Lauren Miller 10/18/2018 5:39 AMI would like to invest more time reflecting on how to relax and be more mindful. Things are always so busy and hectic, I think it would be good to make a conscious effort to turn off the "noise" for a few minutes each day. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Lauren Miller 10/04/2018 4:57 AMIt's so easy to focus on all the things that aren't going well; we often forget how blessed we are! Making a conscious effort to appreciate what we have puts things into perspective and also allows an opportunity to consider how we can help others. -
