What Our Pets Can Teach Us About Being Present
Season 1

Description
Our pets don’t worry about tomorrow’s to-do list or replay yesterday’s mistakes. They live entirely in this moment — the warm patch of sun on the floor, the sound of your voice, the joy of a walk or a nap.
When you think about it, that’s a kind of wisdom most of us spend years trying to relearn.
A dog never checks her phone mid-snuggle. A cat doesn’t wonder if she’s productive enough while she’s stretched out in total relaxation. They simply are.
Our pets remind us that presence isn’t about doing nothing — it’s about fully experiencing what’s in front of us. The meal. The walk. The person (or creature) beside us.
