Have you got less pep in your step and lower energy as the week goes by? With a few simple changes it's easy to inject more happiness into your day
What made you happy today? Seeing how excited your dog was when you walked in? The fact that you woke up to sunny skies? If you’re noticing and getting joy from such tiny things, then you’re already in the spirit of savouring. If not, it’s easy to start practising this concept, which experts say can make you happier in as little as a week. Savouring is the art of bringing your attention to the tiny moments of happiness you have on a daily basis.
“The reason your mind don’t pay attention to positive happenings is because it has a negative bias, designed to keep you safe,” says psychologist Miriam Richter. “But this can also lead you to not appreciate how much good surrounds you. Learning to savour sees you firstly noticing those positive experiences in your day, but then also slowing down, focusing upon the pleasure you’re getting and attempting to squeeze the maximum juice from it.”
