So far this month we have explored savoring in the present and savoring in the past. This week I want to introduce an additional way of savoring––savoring the future. What does that mean? Savoring the future is along the lines of daydreaming, imagining, and anticipating. For example:
- You have tickets for a new play or concert that has received excellent reviews. You allow yourself a few minutes to just think about being at this upcoming event.
- You have plans to get together with a close friend you haven’t seen in some time. Take a moment to imagine what it will feel like when you are with your friend.
- You have a big exam coming up later in the week. But when you are done you have a wonderful getaway weekend planned.
Savoring is pleasurable in the moment, as a memory, and in anticipation.
This week, spend some time savoring the future. Notice how you feel and share your feelings below.
Take good care!
