You can only meet needs you know you have. Your life will become more alive as you learn how to nourish more subtle needs.
Lightness and joy are serious indicators. Look out for spontaneous smiles : )
Where there has been wounding and trauma, the emergence of tenderness and playfulness is a beautiful sign of progress. Keep watching for their arrival. Nourish these experiences and be creative about replicating and expanding them.
Use gratitude practices to amplify your awareness of what is working for you.
