Key Takeaways:

It’s easy to live inside our heads instead of living in the here and now.
Nothing is more valuable than the present moment because you can never get it back.
It’s so important to spend time with loved ones, no matter what species!
Getting caught up in planning the future is easy, but the future does not exist yet. Focus on the future and you will miss the present.
Regular meditation practice can change your life for the better. It can reduce anger, increase patience, and even improve your physical wellbeing.
Only when you manage your relationship with the self well, can you manage relationships with others.
It’s much easier to see the good in life when you’re around positive people.
Even when you think someone is overreacting, it’s important not to invalidate their feelings. Seek understanding and work through the problem together.
Everyone deserves respect for their feelings. We cannot be flawless.
Although you can’t demand respect from someone, you can extract yourself from situations where you are not respected.
Giving up isn’t always the answer, but sometimes you have to walk away, especially when you lose your sense of self.
