Shopping for Presence or Checking Off Boxes?

Shopping for Presence or Checking Off Boxes?

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner December 2, 2025 Duration: 7:01
There’s so many boxes, things to accomplish, presents to purchase, people to spend time with, right here and now. But are we checking off the right boxes? My guest this week made the point that lots of us find refuge at work, because we have clear objectives and can check off the boxes in order to feel accomplishment.  The problem may be that we end up prioritizing the wrong things or losing touch with the people in our lives that are most important to us.  It occurred to me that as we are in the holiday gift box purchasing and giving season, this insight is ironic and even more relevant. How about you … have you got the right boxes?
