Savoring life’s joyous events and experiences is a powerful way to increase your happiness. Research shows that spending fifteen minutes a day for three days to reflect on positive thoughts or emotions mindfully can improve your well-being and overall happiness. Reminiscing on positive memories or images for ten minutes twice a day for one week will increase positivity. Finally, writing down three good things and why they happened can boost your happiness for up to six months.

Next time you take a break, why not try a savoring exercise and feel the happiness reward?
