Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and we’ve got to talk about savoring.  If you are not familiar with this concept, let’s dive into the cliff notes. 

 

Savoring is what you can do when you feel a ping of joy, of happiness, a flicker of gratitude glitter.  It prolongs positive experiences.  It’s like stepping out of what you are experiencing to review and appreciate it while it’s happening.  

 

 We want to do this because savoring has been prove to: 

• Boost our mood
• Keep us in the moment, thwarting our wandering mind
• Increase gratitude, being thankful for that is right in front of you
• Savoring can thwart hedonic adaptation, that behavior where we get to a place and want more. Savoring helps us to remember the good stuff in life. 

 

I invite you to pick a daily “savor.”

Perhaps you are going for a walk and you pick up a brightly colored leaf. How does that leaf feel, what are you experiencing at that moment.  Savor the experience for just a couple minutes.  

We want to tell the Universe that you enjoy this moment you’re savoring and to deliver more of it.  

Savoring in its simplest form is a prolonged appreciation.  When you take a moment and appreciate it, you prolong the positive experience and emotions, which shines a light on the experience and magnifies our happiness. 

I hope this episode has inspired you to savor something a little longer today.  And, let me know what it is, let’s chat over on Social.  I’m at @everydayhappinesswithkatie and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram
