0:00.0	Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. On our last episode, I was talking with Maggie
0:05.6	Panning all about deep mindfulness, intentional living, where you savor every moment. And the word
0:13.5	reverence came up. I believe I introduced that. And I've been thinking about this word ever since.
0:19.4	We all know that mindfulness is a good thing, where you live in the present moment, not in
0:23.6	the past, not in the future, and you're mindful of what you're doing.
0:27.1	It's like planning your feet firmly on the ground in the present moment and savoring it.
0:32.3	But I really love that word reverence because it adds a little more meaning for me.
0:41.0	When we revere the things happening in our lives, you know, looking in our kids' eyes or noticing the colors of a favorite bedspread
0:46.8	or savoring the taste of that strawberry, when we revere it, we almost look at its divine worth. We look at the amazingness that is on this planet,
1:00.6	revering. Now, it doesn't have to have a religious connotation, but mindful, perhaps is getting

1:17.4	to revere all the people and all the little things in your life and see the amount of joy it brings you.
1:26.5	I really believe when we take the time to slow down
1:29.0	and savor every little thing, the flex of color in your daughter's eyes or the way her eyelashes
1:36.6	curl up and look so beautiful or the freckles on her nose or that's just a person, but you can
1:43.6	do this with a tree or a plant or
1:45.7	the color of your wall, whatever. But when we take the time to savor, we're getting so much more
1:51.8	pleasure from that one little thing, giving us greater dopamine, which we all love, especially
1:57.7	in the winter when we need more of that. So dopamine in our brains, it feels good,
2:04.2	more of that serotonin rush. And we can train ourselves to think this way and not need to get it
2:10.5	from our phones or from Netflix or from screens or from food or all of those things that are maybe less
