Grounding For Appreciation Of What You Have (Live)

Noticing and appreciating what we already have changes everything. If we can start by grounding in being and having enough, we'll be surprised by what can happen. This track was recorded live on 1/13/2026 as part of the class on Learning To Love The Life You Are Already Living.

I'd like to take a moment to really start you off with an idea of grounding.

Because I don't want anybody to listen to this class thinking that they need to force gratitude or force appreciation.

We want to really recognize and bring awareness.

So let's take a start.

And if you can find a comfortable seating position for yourself,

I'd love to take a deep breath,

Close your eyes,

And let it out with a sigh.

And I want you to simply start by noticing what it is that's already supporting you.

Right here,

Right now.

There is no right answer.

There's only the answer that you have in this moment.

What is already supporting you right here,

Right now?

Depending on your mental state at the moment,

You could have gone in any direction.

But I'm going to give you a couple more.

Are you sitting on a chair?

Are you talking over the internet?

Is your brain breathing for you when you're not paying attention?

Is your back holding you upright?

Is the house that you're living in providing a space for this,

Or the car,

Or the office?

Just take a moment to sit with what you already have supporting you.

And let that settle your nervous system,

Not by force,

But by recognition and awareness of what's already there.

And if your mind is trying to pull you to all sorts of things that are missing,

That's a tendency.

That's a habit.

And all we want to do is practice noticing what we have,

Not what we don't.

So,

For 30 more seconds,

Notice what is already supporting you.

And then,

When you feel ready,

Go ahead and open your eyes.
