Ideas to Foster Savoring

​

Savoring is the art of fully experiencing and appreciating positive moments—whether they are big or small. Research has shown that consciously savoring experiences can increase happiness, even among people struggling with depression. Here are some ways to build savoring into your life:

​

​

🌿 Savor Ordinary Experiences

​

Often, we rush through daily activities without truly noticing them. In a study, participants were asked to slow down and savor simple experiences, such as enjoying a meal, breathing in a fragrant perfume, or eating a single grape with full attention. The result? Even depressed participants felt better after practicing savoring.

​

1. ✅ Try this: Next time you eat something delicious, pause to fully experience the taste, aroma, and texture. Take your time.

2. ✅ You can also use scent to enhance savoring—buy inexpensive perfumes with pleasant fragrances (like lavender or citrus) and take a moment to appreciate their scent every morning.

​​

⏳ Transport Yourself Through Scent

​​

Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past famously describes how the smell of madeleines transports the narrator back to childhood. Scent is deeply linked to memory and emotions—you can use this to your advantage!

​

1. ✅ Try this: On your next vacation, buy a perfume or scented candle unique to that place. Later, when you use it at home, it will instantly bring back the joyful memories of your trip.

​

🌸 Be Open to Beauty and Excellence

​

Happiness isn’t just about remembering the past—it’s also about truly experiencing the present. Many people go through life without pausing to notice everyday beauty, whether it’s the color of the sky at sunset, the rhythm of music, or the laughter of a friend.

​

1. ✅ Try this: Make it a habit to pause for a few seconds each day to notice one beautiful thing around you. Whether it’s art, music, nature, or a simple kind gesture, consciously appreciating excellence and beauty can boost your happiness today.

​

Using Happy Hangman as a Trigger for Savoring

​

• The idea is simple: play Happy Hangman and use it as a reminder to savor the good things in life. Every round can be a moment to reflect, to pause, and to appreciate something joyful.

• The name "Happy Hangman" was deliberately chosen as an alternative to the grim image of a traditional hangman. Historically, the guillotine was invented as a way to make capital punishment less painful—but by modern standards, it is far more painful than other forms of punishment. Likewise, life can be grim or it can be joyful—the choice is yours.

• So ask yourself: Do you want a grimmer life or a happier life?

• The choice is in your hands. Play Happy Hangman, savor the moment, and make the decision to bring more joy into your life today. 🎉

​

REMEMBER - Savoring like this is an Intencia Agado (or an "intentional activity") to increase your happiness. Incorporate enough Intencita Agado's in your life and you will experience greater happiness. It's really that simple!
