Quick Trick for Daily Happiness
Tickle Your Senses
How often do you really think about what you’re eating? I mean really think about it. How many of your meals involve throwing something together or grabbing a bite to eat and then eating while you do something else like watching the tv? How often do you savor a particular smell or the way something feels on your skin? How often do you tune out the sensory experiences in your life so you can run on to the next activity or project?
Today’s Trick
Spend one day this week or one hour tomorrow really appreciating how things taste, smell, feel, sound and look. When you take a shower, notice how the water feels on your skin. Decide what temperature would give you the most comfort and ignore what’s good for your skin or hair color. Choose shampoos and soap that smell wonderful to you. When you eat a meal, choose something that appeals to as many senses as you can. Enjoy every bite. Stop a moment to savor the feel of a breeze on your skin or sounds that bring you joy. Take everything into your body by breathing consciously.
