Welcome back. For behavior #2 in The Positivity Toolbox, we introduce you to SAVORING. Research shows that the practice of remembering happy moments and replaying them in our minds prolongs and reinforces positive emotions.
Why it matters
Moments can be fleeting. In this fast-paced world of posts, tweets, and disappearing snap messages, it can be hard to simply enjoy the moment that you are in.
How it works
Research shows that the practice of remembering happy moments and replaying them in our minds prolongs and reinforces positive emotions. Conscious memories of a positive past help build past-present and future-minded positive emotions, which build resilience.
