I know I am 2 years too late to this post, but this is fascinating. I think there is an interesting marriage between this insight and the insight that parents try to hoard moments while in the moment. This not only causes stress about crafting the perfect moment but allow detracts from them being present in that moment (ironically giving them less to savor).
Anyway, thank you for posting. Love the data as well.
I attended a motivation workshop at ABCT a couple years ago and Michael Otto talked about the benefits of savoring and reflecting on positive experiences. It prompted me to start a “well-being journal” wherein I write down one “above neutral” thing every day. It’s a very low lift intervention that has had a meaningful impact on me. +1 would definitely recommend.
