For a number of understandable reasons, especially these days, it can be challenging to slow down and savor our experiences.  The pace of life and work, the stressful and uncertain nature of things right now, and the tendency many of us have to plan and worry, among other things, all make savoring difficult.  However, when we pause and truly take things in, it brings us into the present moment and allows us to more fully appreciate our experience of being alive.  I talk about this important phenomenon on this week’s episode - pointing out some of the challenges we face in this regard, and sharing specific tips for how we can practice the art of savoring more effectively.
