Annaliese and Alan talk about how to help yourself stay present and embrace daily challenges and frustrations as you try to live intentionally. Annaliese shows you the significance of micromoments, those tiny pockets of time scattered throughout your day, and how you can use them to choose more acceptance and gain the peace you need.

- Reevaluating Your Goals: Explore the connection between your emotions and the goals you set for yourself. Are they serving you, or are they working against you in the process?
