Why it works: Savouring activates your brain’s reward centres and calm circuits. It builds resilience, gratitude, and emotional strength — one tiny moment at a time.
Savouring works in three powerful ways: 1️⃣ Past — recalling joyful memories 2️⃣ Present — noticing good moments in real time 3️⃣ Future — anticipating something nice
Look for: ✨ sunlight on a wall ✨ a child’s laughter ✨ the smell of rain ✨ the breeze on your face Pause 3–5 seconds with each. Let the moment land.
One of the easiest ways to practice it is the Savouring Walk (UC Berkeley’s method). Walk for 20 minutes. Alone. No headphones. Just notice one good thing after another.
Neuroscience shows that when you hold a positive moment for 20–30 seconds… You literally strengthen the neural pathways of happiness. This is how we train the brain to balance negativity.
Psychologists Fred Bryant & Joseph Veroff define savouring as “attending to, appreciating, and enhancing positive experiences.” It’s not luxury. It’s a mental skill.
Savouring simply means: 👉 slowing down 👉 noticing good moments 👉 and letting them last a little longer It’s like telling your brain, “Hey, this matters.”
Ever noticed how the good moments pass quickly, but the stressful ones stick? That’s not you — that’s your brain’s negativity bias. But you can rewire it. The answer? Savouring. A small daily habit that boosts happiness for real.

The Two-Minute Happiness Habit Most people end their day replaying what went wrong — the stress, the rush, the missed opportunity. Each night before bed, try this: ✅ Write down Three Good Things that happened today. ✅ Reflect on why they happened — and your role in them.

Take a minute today. Look at your Love–Play–Work–Health Dashboard. Which gauge is running low? A joyful life isn’t something you find — It’s something you design. 📘 From “Seeds of Happiness” by Dr. Mukesh Jain, IPS (Author of “A Happier You” & “Mindset for Success and Happiness
The Health Gauge: Body, Mind & Spirit You can’t design a great life on an empty battery. Health is more than fitness — it’s peace of mind & calm of soul. Walk. Breathe. Sleep well. Practice gratitude. Tiny tweaks create big ripples of well-being.
The Work Gauge: Meaning & Contribution Work isn’t just your paycheck — it’s how you contribute energy to the world. Ask: 🌱 Does my work feel meaningful? 🔥 Am I proud of my hours? If the answer feels “meh,” redesign — don’t resign. Kaam mein pooja, pooja mein kaam.
