I really can't express anything by just words as I feel words can't describe this magical feeling I'm still living to this day. My biggest takeaway is taking even more my time when doing anything and feel more within myself. I have a fast life and I pressure myself to do things rapidly, so anytime I feel pressured now I just breath slowly and ground down.
