It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But amidst the chaos, there are little moments of pure bliss that can uplift our spirits and bring a sense of peace and happiness. These moments may be fleeting, but their impact can be long-lasting.
Tracking these moments of bliss is a powerful practice that can help us cultivate gratitude, mindfulness, and overall well-being. By taking the time to acknowledge and record these instances — whether it’s a beautiful sunset, a heartfelt conversation with a loved one, or simply enjoying a delicious meal — we can train our minds to focus on the positive aspects of our lives.
Little things add up.
Not only does tracking moments of bliss enhance our mental health and emotional well-being, but it also helps us build resilience against stress and negativity.
By creating a habit of recognising and appreciating the small joys in life, we can shift our perspective towards greater positivity and contentment.
So why not start today?
Take a moment each day to reflect on what brought you joy, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Write it down in a journal or use an app to track your moments of bliss. Over time, you’ll begin to notice patterns emerging and realise just how much beauty surrounds you every day.
Remember, happiness is not always found in grand gestures or extravagant experiences — sometimes it lies in the simplest of things. If you regularly embrace the practice of tracking moments of bliss, you’ll certainly see your outlook and experience of life transforming for the better.
There’s an app for that.
I know it seems counter-intuitive to use a digital product to track such an organic experience, but I found that sometimes it’s hard to habitualise this helpful approach to life without a little help.
So my first project when I started making apps was to put together 3 key ways to develop bliss in an app called BlissList — it combines [1] tracking blissful moments, [2] releasing noisy thoughts and [3] saving gratitude notes to read later. These are some of the simplest, yet genuinely life-changing tools in my box of wellbeing strategies, so it’s well-worth giving it a go…
