Savoring & Gratitude

Savoring & Gratitude

Savoring is the act of stepping outside of an experience to review and appreciate it.

  • Lengthens the positive emotions that come with doing something you love.
  • It can be a nice shower, a delicious meal, a great walk outside, or any experience that you really enjoy.
  • Includes sharing the experience with another person, thinking about how lucky you are to enjoy the moment, keeping a photo of that activity,

Gratitude is a positive emotional state in which one recognizes and appreciates what one has received in life.

  • You can just write and take a moment to be mindful of the things you’re writing about.
