Savoring doesn’t eliminate the uncertainty and upset that we encounter in life—but it sure makes it all easier to deal with. Here's how to start enjoying the moment more, writes PLCampbell
But mostly, it helps me calm down by reminding me that not everything is rotten or falling apart. When I pause to savor something delicious or precious, fun or amazing, I settle into a moment of good feeling. I relax. And that nibble of goodness is often just enough to turn my day around or help me reframe a difficult time.
In a related study, more than 6,000 people surveyed said they were more likely to savor and appreciate the small moments of life when the world felt more chaotic.On Saturday, our toilet valve broke, shooting water all over the bathroom and bedroom, soaking the walls and carpet, and dousing the vanity. At the same time, my daughter was spinning into upset over a missed school assignment and I had a project due on deadline. I was feeling frantic.
This is the approach I take several times throughout the day and it’s the one I used when the toilet exploded. I dealt with the immediate emergency, took a deep breath, and then took a short pause to savor a slow sip of coffee, smelling and tasting and seeing it.
