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. - Savor existing goods before pursuing more
Deliberately notice and extend the experience of present goods — before hedonic adaptation erases them.
The Mindset of Enough: Contentment Without Complacency - 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. Positive-psychology research links a stronger savoring capacity to greater well-being and slower hedonic adaptation; the effect is real, though it depends on attention to the present rather than capturing or analyzing the moment. - The last day of summer
Treat any positive experience as if it is happening for the last time — not morbidly, but to be fully present.

Deliberately notice the transience of a good experience to deepen your engagement with it while it’s here.
