Practices that may help
- Savoring the Moment, Made Practical
Savoring — deliberately amplifying and prolonging positive experiences through focused attention and appreciative reflection — is one of the more reliable tools for increasing positive affect and life satisfaction. Bryant and Veroff’s research finds it works through several distinct mechanisms, each requiring active engagement rather than passive enjoyment. - Savoring: Getting More From the Good
Savoring is the deliberate act of noticing, prolonging, and intensifying a positive experience instead of letting it slip past.
