Appreciate the present moment and value the people in your life, rather than getting caught up in material possessions. Reflect on the importance of the present and express gratitude for the time shared with loved ones, especially during holidays.

We're conditioned to focus more on the material gifts we give than nurturing our relationships with those close to us. Paradoxically, this can increase our sense of alienation during a time of supposed togetherness. What can we do to honor the spirit of giving in a way that uplifts us all?
