After clearing the mental clutter in Step 1, it’s time to turn inward and renew your energy. Step 2 is all about nurturing yourself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Picture a weary traveler finding a cool stream in the desert. That refreshing moment is exactly what this step is designed to give you. It’s about replenishing what has been depleted and filling your life with practices and people that energize your soul.

Step Overview

Life’s demands can drain us, sometimes without us even realizing it. Step 2 teaches you to intentionally pour back into yourself. It’s about honoring your body, embracing joyful movement, cultivating uplifting relationships, and rediscovering hobbies that light you up from the inside. By refreshing yourself, you strengthen your capacity to give, grow, and thrive in all areas of your life.
