Quotable moments:

"Staying in the present helps you with anxiety. It helps you with mood. It helps you with burnout." - Dr. Gail Saltz

"Let me take in photographically how this looks to me. And let me listen to how the birds sound right now. Let me smell the pine trees that I'm smelling right now. And then I take all that, and I say, this is something I'm going to use when I'm in a stressed out situation." - Dr. Gail Saltz

"At the end of the day, it's pretty rare the person who has regrets that are related to 'wish I'd worked harder at work.' They're usually about relationships and feeling attended to that." - Dr. Gail Saltz
