Through simple practice, I have learned to savor the many flavors of small, joyful moments. I have learned to taste joy in the fresh air, and to feel it in my warm mug and in my kids’ warm hugs.
In these moments of connection, I’m reminded of what social scientists tell us: synergy with ourselves and others leads to great things -- health happiness, and longer life.
The reality is, I can only do one thing at a time. And whenever I lose focus on the one thing I am doing -- by worrying about the other 99 tasks on my list -- everything suffers.
