My household began one thing referred to as the Good Instances Jar—each week every member of the family provides a notice about one thing good that occurred that week. It may very well be something, but it surely must be detailed, in order that on the finish of 2024, we are able to learn them aloud and savor the small wins and pleasures from the previous 12 months. We preserve the jar on our kitchen counter, with a notepad and pen close by. Each time I see it as I’m speeding by, I’m reminded to decelerate the blur and take within the moments.
