Reflection for Wellness Within
Reflection, why?
Reflection is more than a tradition; it's a fundamental practice for nurturing our mental wellbeing. Amidst the whirlwind of year-end activities, taking time to pause, reflect, and recharge becomes a precious gift we give to ourselves. In the tapestry of time, reflection acts as the thread that weaves together the experiences, triumphs, and lessons of the past year.

Your Wellness Circle
As the year draws to a close, take a moment to draw or imagine a circle. In the center, inscribe "wellness" and surround it with the six elements mentioned earlier. Challenge yourself to peel away the layers, go inward, and ask, "What am I doing to achieve wellness?" Start small, be honest, and witness the interconnectedness of these elements.
In these closing days of the year, look back, learn, feel, and celebrate. As we step into the future, let's ensure our wellness stands boldly at the center of our lives, not fading into the background. Can you afford not to prioritize your wellness? The answer lies in the choices you make for a life that nurtures your mind, body, and soul. Here's to a new year filled with reflection and the pursuit of wellness within!
