Savoring from the past

You are probably familiar with the adage, “Don’t live in the past.” Where this may be sound advice in a general way, occasional savoring from the past can impact your feelings in the present. Here’s how: 

• Select several favorite moments from some time in the past. These may include:
  
  
• An experience you had when you were alone such as a meditation retreat, walking in the woods, or curled up with a good book and your cat.
  
  
• An experience with family or friends such as a holiday, birthday, or vacation.
  
  
• An important moment in time such as a celebration, wedding,  graduation, or birth of a child.

• Write these moments down. Try something like, “The time when I…” Describe the memory in as much detail as you can.
  
  
• When you have a few minutes, look over your written memories, close your eyes and re-run the memories in your imagination.

Take good care!
