Double Click - A Reflective & Poetic Practice
by HeatherSandlinThoughtfully
Double Click is a reflective and poetic practice. A place where we give ourselves permission to pause, reflect on our day, and double-click on experiences that bring us Joy, Laughter, Surprise, Wonder, Challenge, and Clarity. I believe our attention is our most valuable resource; shaping our thinking, our choices, and the life we build.Reflection gives us the data we need to build a life that we love.A life full of meaning, purpose, exploration, value, virtue, and discipline.
