Things I am Truly Grateful For
After my first session with Steven Noack, I embarked on a daily practice to uncover true moments of joy and gratitude beyond the usual thanks for the planet or my well-being. These are specific moments and things that fill me with a profound sense of happiness and peace. Each morning, I reflect on this list and consider new additions, ensuring they truly resonate with me.
According to Steven, practicing gratitude allows for positive energy to build up inside of you. This energy is stored and can later be used to safeguard against heavy emotions and low-vibrational energies, which will ultimately allow you to hold onto your identity.
Here is my gratitude list:
