That first sip of hot chocolate on a freezing morning is a whole event. Show up for it.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Small pleasures are almost always consumed while distracted. The first mouthful of something hot on a cold morning is genuinely one of the better experiences available to a person, and most of the time it happens while you are walking, texting or thinking about first period. It goes by unregistered, which is the same as not having it.

Give the first sip your full attention once this week. Stop walking. Do not look at anything. Five seconds is all it takes, and it costs no extra time or money, only that you are present for the part you already paid for.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Which small pleasure do you rush through without tasting it?
