AIM-ing at happiness – what do you remember?
Human minds are wired to retain more negative memories than positive. There are very good survival reasons for this (which we can get into at another time!)
In order to move beyond survival to self growth and actualization, we need to be intentional in training our brains to remember the good.
How can you do this? So glad you asked because it is actually VERY simple.
When you are having a positive experience (listening to a bird, getting a parking spot, smelling a flower, tasting that chocolate . . .), take a moment to savour it.
Pause. Breathe. Savour.
Take a few moments to enjoy the experience rather than moving onto the next thing.
It takes between 8 – 20 seconds for the pleasant sensations and memory to register in your memory bank and in your cells.
For best results, repeat several times a day!
