#MMQuickTip
If you find yourself resistant to daily reflection, you are not alone. It is difficult to build this habit into our lives, but this is one of the key practices that drives intentional change. If it's too much to try to reflect each evening, perhaps try to reflect two times per week—once at the end and once in the middle. Set a reminder in your calendar, and try to build from 2x per week up to 4x per week by the end of the month.
