One word that can instantly change your mood

Think about it: you get up in the morning, you make (or go buy) coffee, you get a strong, smoking and fragrant drink, you take a breath, then take a sip and ... Everything, coffee is over, it's day. But where did the moment of enjoying the drink disappear? Was he even there? We so often do not notice events and actions, but we pass through them ...

We turn back and think: "How much time do I spend on different things!" But do we really live these moments?

You will not get a full sense of life unless you are "in it." She will pass you by. You need something simple and easy that will support you in the present, and here it is, this word: pleasure.

But how to begin to test it? Here are three simple ways.

1. Invent yourself a trigger

The trigger is the trigger, the element that drives the system. In psychology, it is an attitude that causes a reaction. In this case, the reaction is a pleasure. The next time you buy coffee, a donut, a salad or ice cream, this event should keep you in the present. Make it a ritual that reminds you that you need to pause, remember about pleasure and instead of digging in thoughts, begin to experience joy.

2. Install reminders

For some people, this can be tiring, but it's worth trying. Set yourself a signal (for example, an alarm clock) at a random time of day so that when you least expect it, you will receive a reminder: "Pleasure!"

For example, you go in the rain, and suddenly your smartphone starts ringing. You slow down, look around, breathe in the smell of rain and just enjoy this moment.

Or you sit in a bar and you receive a reminder that you need to cheer yourself up. You are busy with your phone (like most others), but look up and see your friends, put off your smartphone and start living.

3. Pay attention to your feelings

Many spend time buying new furniture, clothes, accessories, but when was the last time you actually felt these new things?

For example, do you enjoy cotton pajamas and a soft feather bed or just, tired, fall on the bed at the end of the day? What do you think is better?

Do you wrap yourself in a scarf on a frosty day and get drunk with its warmth or just throw it on your back, hurrying to jump into the elevator? Try your supper, thinking how delicious the meat and stew came out, or mechanically eating the cookies while watching the next series? Not surprisingly, overeating is a scourge of modern society.

Do you enjoy the feeling of a soft texture of the cream and its aroma, performing a daily ritual, or just squeezing a drop into the palm of your hand, hastily dropping the tube into your bag? Did you know that most creams smell just divine, but we never sniff them outside of stores - from the day we bought it?

Are you reveling in the incredible beauty of music, the vibrations of tones and vibrations, soaring up into heaven when you listen to a song that you like, or turn it on as a background? Do you really think that you listen to music?

Often go back to this important word - pleasure. That it is able to paint the grayest day. Preparing breakfast, ironing the dog, talking with loved ones, remember the pleasure, and life will begin to be felt much better.
