We continue our Savor: A Season of Joy and Presence series with the title episode. Today we are diving into what it means to truly live fully awake to the beauty and goodness of your actual life. And let's be honest: that's harder than it sounds. In today's episode, we're getting real about some of the reasons we resist savoring like our tendency to rush (and why!), our fear of stillness, and our belief in the lie that productivity is more important than presence. Joy isn't a risk or something to be hurried through. It's time to slow down and truly notice the good. To appreciate it. Savoring is what allows us to fully engage with and enjoy our moments and might just be the most life-giving habit we've forgotten how to keep. This is a conversation about presence. About practice. About choosing to taste and see the good—not someday, but now.

Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.In today's refreshing and intentional episode, we're talking about “Savoring the Last Days of Summer”—and what that means for your relationship.As the long days begin to shorten and the busyness of fall draws near, it's easy to miss the moments right in front of us. Many couples find themselves going through the motions—feeling more like roommates than partners, letting meaningful conversations fade, or sensing a quiet drift growing between them.But this season invites us to pause. To slow down. To be present—not just with the fading summer sunsets, but with each other.We'll explore some of the subtle signs that your relationship might be stuck in autopilot and how to recognize when emotional distance is setting in. We'll also unpack the deeper reasons behind this disconnection—like unspoken expectations, past hurts, and life's endless distractions.More importantly, we'll offer simple, faith-rooted ways to reclaim closeness and savor what matters most: connection, conversation, and intentional time together. From creating shared rituals to learning each other's emotional language again, this episode is about making the most of the moments you still have—and building habits that will carry you into the next season stronger.If you've felt the space growing between you or just want to slow down and reconnect, this episode is for you.If it resonates, we invite you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope and encouragement in their relationship.The season may be changing—but it's not too late to turn toward each other again.Let's savor this season—and grow forward, together.BOOK RELEASE:Order Your Copy of Our Book - Renewing Bonds: Seven Steps to Restoring Your Relationship by clicking the link below:⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/0986398799⁠⁠ How to Heal and Restore Your Marriage is now available on Audible. FOLLOW US ON: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/heala...⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/healandr...⁠⁠⁠⁠VISIT US AT:www.healandrestorecounseling.com

In this final episode of the Sabbath Summer series, Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen guide us into the often-overlooked final movement of Sabbath: reflection. We began with anticipation—the courageous act of imagining rest. Then moved into participation—embracing play even in the midst of reality's messiness. And now, we arrive at reflection—savoring what has been. But reflection doesn't always come easily. In a culture that pushes us toward constant motion, pausing to ponder our day, our summer, or even a moment of joy can feel… unnatural. Or even risky. As Rachael shares, sometimes the goodness we taste is hard to hold. It intensifies longing. It reminds us of what's still broken. And yet—it strengthens hope. Dan offers a glimpse into his own end-of-day rhythm with Becky. He reminds us that reflection is not about correction, but recollection—a gathering of the day's moments to see what God is forming in us. This episode is an invitation to slow down, to savor, and to see: -What has this summer meant for you so far? -What might God be showing you through it? -And how might reflection become not just a one-time practice, but a way of holding eternity—right here, in the ordinary? Thank you for joining us for this three-part Sabbath Summer series. We're grateful you chose to pause, reflect, and journey with us through anticipation, participation, and reflection. Our hope is that these conversations invited you into deeper rest—not just in your schedule, but in your spirit. May you carry what you've imagined, created, and savored into the days ahead, with openness to the delight and presence of God along the way.  

Do any of you feel like your summer is blasting away? Or time in general! Are we moving so fast that we no longer enjoy anything? In this podcast episode, we are going to talk about savoring those summer moments that we have.  We don't have to change or cancel our plans, just slow down a little to savor the moments that we have. Shifting down is our focus.  A simple shift in one direction can change the momentum of our pace and the rest of our day.  Could a simple downshift from fifth gear to fourth make all the difference in our connection, our feelings of hurry and anxiety, and peace? Listen in for simple tips to shift down, like taking in nature, putting away our phones, and writing down golden moments. We could all benefit physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually by a simple downshift to get us on a better track!

This week, McKay introduces a practical and powerful challenge: the one-month happiness test. Drawing inspiration from Laurie Santos's famous Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," this episode moves beyond big, life-altering events to focus on the small, consistent actions that are scientifically proven to boost happiness. McKay breaks down simple yet profound practices like savoring positive moments, actively choosing your focus through selective attention, expressing gratitude, performing acts of kindness, and strengthening social connections. Through relatable stories and real-world examples, he illustrates how these "micro-adjustments" can retrain our brains, counteracting our natural negativity bias and leading to a more joyful, fulfilling life. Listeners are invited to take the test for themselves and discover how intentional, daily habits can create lasting change.Main Themes:Happiness comes from small, consistent changes, not just big life events.You can retrain your brain to focus on the positive through selective attention.Savoring positive experiences - before, during, and after - deepens their impact.Practicing gratitude is a powerful choice that turns what you have into enough.Acts of kindness boost happiness for both the giver and the receiver.Strong social connections are a primary predictor of a long, happy life.Exercise and sleep are foundational pillars for mental well-being and happiness.You can become the author of your life by choosing what to focus on and practice.What you notice becomes your reality.A one-month test is long enough to implement new habits and see real results.Top 10 Quotes:"The strange truth is... most people return to their baseline level of happiness after these major life events. This phenomenon is called the hedonic treadmill.""Tiny, regular changes to your daily life often make a bigger, longer-lasting difference than these big things.""Your brain is built to scan for problems... but you can change what you focus on, and it will help you be more happy.""Savoring is the deliberate, post-activity act of looking back on what you've done and taking time to appreciate it.""Gratitude turns what we have into enough.""Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what kept people happy throughout their lives.""These examples aren't miracles; they're micro-adjustments in their lives.""You get to choose what you'll focus on. So this month, to test your happiness, focus on the good.""Kind service has this magic feel to it."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox!

In this episode, I reflect on the concept of "Savoring the Good," inspired by a recent family celebration—the 50th anniversary of my parents. This milestone event not only called for a grand celebration but also brought to light the joys and stresses of planning a gathering with many moving parts.How can we allow ourselves to truly experience and absorb these joyous moments while they unfold? How do you focus on being present and fully engaged in the experience, rather than letting the good times slip away unnoticed.It's about creating a home for joy within our lives, so we can nurture these moments and carry them with us long after the event has passed. The essence of this practice is not just about the events themselves but about cultivating a deeper capacity to find and hold onto joy, ultimately impacting how we experience our lives as we navigate the complexities of life, love, and celebrations.What you'll learn from this episode:The importance of noticing joyHow to savor the goodEmbracing the joy in your lifeFeatured on the show:Follow me on Instagram to learn more about navigating your wedding with grace and ease: https://www.instagram.com/karaghassabeh/Check out **The Bridal Prep Academy:** https://karamaureen.comLet's connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraMaureenBridalCoachingGet your copy of the book, **Whispers to a Bride:**https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-Bride-handle-stress-drama/dp/B0BCRXBQFN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UXWJVJOF3MNI&keywords=whispers+to+a+bride&qid=1662643892&sprefix=whispers+to+a+bride%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1

Hello Dears! Happy Friday! I decided to do a little mini series of solo episodes as a follow up the episode of The Never Ending Story and Releasing Fear. To provide an offering for how to begin awakening our loving, trusting selves. And it starts with the heart. Inspired by the wonderful book by Dana Quade, Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World I share what she refers to as the 4 chambers of the heart and will be covering each chamber in this mini series.On this episode I talk about the FOURTH chamber of the heart which allows us to stick to our convictions, The COURAGEOUS Heart. I share the importance of having a COURAGEOUS heart which is that of your brave soul, it endows you with the ability to say NO when you must and stick up for what you believe in. It is the heart of self love that no one can fully self-love without. The fiery heart that acts on feelings that are true to the spirit.Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World, By Dana Quade,  https://www.amazon.com/Doing-Thing-Dana-Quade/dp/0692001689Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

Neil W. Blackmon (Saturday Down South) is joined by Malik Grady (@MalikG on X) to discuss Florida's portal efforts and roster-building talents. Why Todd Golden is such an impressive roster builder, and why Florida's ability to stay comfortable with being uncomfortable may pay dividends as they pursue players like Boogie Fland. Plus, thoughts on the NBA Combine, the case for Walter Clayton Jr. as a First Round lock, Alex Condon's future at Florida, and what to make of Will Richard and Rueben Chinyelu at the Combine.Finally, thoughts on a special year for the Gators, and why it's important to savor a national championship winning season.

I recently read a book that completely challenged the way I read. While I usually read books at a steady pace and move right to the next one, MOTHERS AND SONS by Adam Haslett stopped me in my tracks and prompted a slower reading experience…something I didn't realize I needed more of. Come listen as I talk about the three ways we can read more slowly, the research behind why it matters and the small, yet powerful, ways that you can get started.You'll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/05/13/the-art-of-slow-reading-why-savoring-stories-matters/https://www.alitlife.com/2025/05/13/the-art-of-slow-reading-why-savoring-stories-matters/Love this podcast and want more?

Savoring the creamy richness of delectable milk chocolate. Settling into the plush leather of a luxury car. Dangling your feet in the stunningly blue water of a South Pacific lagoon. What do these very different life experiences have in common? Each is richly imaged for us by adroit advertisers who correctly sense how desperately we seek relief from everyday hecticity. We need something to break the cycle: we need a respite from the crushing stress. But the Word of God reminds us that we manufacture most of all that pains us. “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard” (Rom 3:23). Our essential uneasiness results from years of choosing the fleeting pleasures of this moment over the joys of God's eternal friendship. Is there a better answer than smooth chocolate, deep leather and Tahitian sunsets? “God, in His grace, freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins” (Rom 3:24). “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isa 53:6). Grace is an enduring delight because the Lord is risen. The pleasure of His freedom lasts forever. So stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Singleness isn't a waiting room, it's a season worth savoring! From navigating breakups to rediscovering the beauty in being single, we get real about what it means to savor your singleness. Together, we talk about the tension between trusting God and desiring a relationship, the myths around marriage being the ultimate fulfillment, and how to trade a scarcity mindset for one grounded in God's protection and purpose. If you've ever felt behind, discouraged, or just over your single season — this episode is a reminder that you're not forgotten.

People think happiness comes from getting everything you want. But the science shows, it's the absence, the novelty, and the change that bring joy back - Tali Sharot  Ever wonder why lasting happiness can feel so elusive? This episode delves into the neuroscience of habituation, and why our brains, despite achieving desires, tend to filter out positive experiences. We'll explore this phenomenon and uncover practical strategies to consciously re-engage with what's already good in your life. My guest is Dr. Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist and professor at University College London, where she directs the Affective Brain Lab. Tali's research blends neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics to study how emotion and motivation shape decision-making, memory, and belief. Tali's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The BBC, and her TED Talks have been viewed over 15 million times. We talk about her research behind why we adapt so quickly to both the good and the bad—and how this helps us survive, but can also rob us of happiness, creativity, and even the desire to change. This is the crux of her book, Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There, co-authored with Cass Sunstein. If you've ever wondered why joy fades faster than it should—or why we stop seeing the beauty around us—this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how to disrupt that pattern. Some highlights from the pod: Tali's research background and the Affective Brain Lab Research insights into human–AI bias feedback loops Habituation: How our brains are built to ignore what doesn't change Why the mechanism that makes us resilient also makes us take good things for granted The problem of perfection; and getting everything you want Dis-habituation —and how to apply it to relationships and daily life Happiness and the evolutionary role of novelty How to use imagination and attention to rekindle joy and gratitude Why people with depression often struggle to recover—and the role of rumination How learning and effort unlock happiness Refreshing the familiar: Savoring, small changes, and role-play This is one of those episodes that can help you feel more alive—not by adding more to your life, but by changing how you see what's already there. Enjoy!

In this episode of Embrace your Real, I'm sharing 3 things I've personally been focusing on lately that honestly have nothing to do with fitness or nutrition—but they've helped me show up stronger, more focused, and more energized in my workouts. Because here's the truth: sometimes the key to building the body you want isn't found in more workouts or more discipline... it's in building a life that supports your goals. From the inside out. Because the truth is, sometimes when you hit a plateau, the answer isn't to push harder. It's not to add more workouts, tighten your macros, or stress about your steps. Sometimes, the thing that unlocks progress is actually the least expected strategy: Cultivating more peace in your life.   What I discuss:  Protecting my energy Savoring the little moments Being intentional with what I consume   If you loved this episode, I know you'll also love episode 436: 6 Simple Ways to Reduce Stress Daily   If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

In this episode, we dive into the power of mindfulness and pleasure—how slowing down and fully experiencing the present moment can bring more joy, connection, and richness to your life. So often, we rush through our days, missing the small, beautiful moments that make life feel full and pleasurable. But what if you could train yourself to pause, feel, and truly savor the simple pleasures that already exist around you? What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How to bring mindfulness and pleasure into your daily routine • Simple techniques to tune into your body and awaken your senses • Why pleasure isn't just about big moments—it's found in the little details How to Cultivate More Pleasure & Presence: 1. Pause & Notice – Take a moment to truly see, hear, and feel your surroundings. Maybe it's the warmth of your coffee mug, the softness of your sweater, or the way sunlight filters through the window. 2. Engage Your Senses – Run your fingers over a texture you love, deeply inhale a scent, or take an extra moment to taste your food. 3. Breathe it In – Close your eyes, take a slow, deep breath, and let the sensation fully settle in your body. 4. Carry It Forward – As you move through your day, look for small moments of joy—the sound of laughter, the rhythm of your footsteps, the feeling of fresh air on your skin. Why This Matters: • It slows you down. When you stop rushing, life feels fuller and more vibrant. • It connects you to your body. Pleasure isn't just a thought—it's something you feel. • It builds gratitude. When you learn to appreciate the little things, you naturally invite more joy into your life. Pleasure isn't a destination—it's already here, woven into the fabric of your everyday life. The more you slow down and notice it, the more alive and connected you'll feel.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, an annual holiday to celebrate love, those we love in all its different relationship forms, it can be helpful to be reminded that love doesn't have a hierarchy. One type of relationship be it a friendship, a spouse, a parent/child, a pet companion, a universal love for humanity, self-love - isn't more or less important, but merely other avenues of giving and receiving love. Love, when it is true, comes in a variety of forms. Shared in this post back in October about unconditional love, Andy Puddicombe reminds, “The very definition of unconditional love is it is not dependent on anything or anyone. So to experience unconditional love, we don't necessarily need to be with another person. It doesn't mean we can't enjoy being with another person, but we don't necessarily need them to experience it.” Zen Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh wrote in his book How to Love, "In true love, you attain freedom.” He goes on to teach us that “To love is to recognize; to be loved is to be recognized by the other.” In my own life, one that the zeitgeist would label as 'being single', I have let go of the narrow perspective of how to welcome love into my life as well as give love to the world. Once I began to do this with more awareness and understanding, I began to feel more love and also be more loving without expectation to others and to myself in how I nurtured my everyday life and supported my dreams. I set myself free to trust my life journey, and it has made a powerfully positive difference to the quality of my life. But, and this is why I share today's episode/post, this is not to advocate for being single or to enjoy being single until . . . [whatever it is the culture we find ourselves approves or applauds]. When we let ourselves be labeled in such a way - married, single, divorced, widowed - it becomes cement that prevents us to live fully and partake in whatever life dance we choose to attend, for however long we choose to partake. Because the reasons for choosing the life we discover is most nourishing for our true selves will be unique to each of us, and cannot be fully understood by the outside world, not even those close to us in absolute entirety. In today's episode we'll explore four ways to understand what a life of love is and how it is invited into our life.
