1. Visit often. Reflection is a time honored activity. Make it pleasurable. It’s important feel good about visiting because you will visit more often which is what you need to do.

2. Make it yours. You make the rules. You change the rules. You can break the rules. This is about you and what you like or don’t like. What you want or don’t want. It should be an expression of who you are.

3. Feel the love. Allow yourself to wallow in the good feelings from coming home. Embrace all your emotions. Let them guide you to increasing your awareness to more feelings.
