Savor the happy moments with mindfulness

Finally, keep the season from turning in to one big blur by using mindfulness. When you’re at the dinner table, surrounded by your chit-chatting extended family, bring the soles of both feet to the floor, turn up the volume on your awareness of your breathing, and enjoy being rooted in the present where you can let the sweetness of the moment soak in to your cells.

Expanding your awareness from the thoughts in your head to what’s actually happening in the moment helps you observe more, and what you observe you can change or savor.
