The Den
This month in The Den our Wellness Initiative is Reflection and Celebration of Growth. It is helpful for us all to spend time reflecting on our efforts and results in multiple life domains. When we engage in reflection it helps to refine our focus and strengthen our motivation to move forward, as we consider what is going well and also what we can improve upon in the future. Look for a reflection card in the WellSpace that can help you reflect, and realize your accomplishments and areas for growth.
