Micro moments of positivity
In today's world, small moments of joy are crucial. With all the challenges we have to face every day we need to create balance. A good way to do this is to create micro happy moments. It's the small moments that contribute to our overall well-being. From enjoying a cup of tea to spending time with loved ones, these everyday experiences can bring joy and happiness.
By intentionally seeking out moments that spark joy and comfort, we can cultivate a sense of well-being.
Our brains are hard-wired to look for danger, giving weight to negative emotions over positive ones. So, whenever we focus excessively on negative things we feed the negative bias in our brains. Overcoming our negative bias is not easy, but there are things we can do intentionally to make our brains happier!
One way to improve our lives by creating “micro-moments” of positivity is to seek out the people or things that bring you joy.
Each day holds countless opportunities for positive emotions and positive connections can make a difference.

Seeking Help
Mental stress can cause us not to be able to see the good things in life and lead to excessive rumination or worries which can result in serious health problems. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

@amiablePeace77 I try to create positive moments every day😁 it's not always possible but I try 💖 just doing the little things like normal, watching sunrise, art and playing with my pigs💖
@Tinywhisper11
Your pigs are blessed to have you and nice that they bring joy into your life!
@amiablePeace77
What are small things that make you happy and put a smile on your face?
Are you intentionally creating positive moments during the day? What do you do?
I definitely create positive moments everyday intentionally and sometimes even unintentionally but it always keeps me happy either way!
I go out for walks every sunshine brightful day, write my own songs or poems, journal my thoughts, share positive self affirmations with myself, only care about what I say, think, feel and believe and stopped worrying or caring about other’s opinions about myself, listening to music, spend time with my niece and/or some other family members when we’re around each other.
Small things that make or keep me happy are being alive, seeing and knowing that others are alive, helping others, self caring, being my authentic self, journaling, writing poetry and songs, walking, exercising. Those are some of the things keeping me happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@akunknown
You're not only waiting that moments of happiness occur but actively doing something to make them happen! 👍
@amiablePeace77
Yep! That’s exactly right my dear friend ❤️
@amiablePeace77
What are small things that make you happy and put a smile on your face?
When I see that my plants are thriving. I water them and see the drooping leaves stand straight and healthy.
Are you intentionally creating positive moments during the day? What do you do?
Sometimes. I listen to music or meditate.
@trueconfidant123
To me plants are like humans. With care they stand up tall and healthy! How have you "watered" yourself today? I granted myself a long nap 😃
@amiablePeace77 I love that perspective! 😍
I’m not sure if I have been intentionally creating micro moments, but I will try to be more aware of doing so. I think I do create some without realizing it. I agree that the micro moments can keep us going and add up to something bigger.
I try to soak up activities with my kids, little moments like their excitement, places we’ve visited, or just their facial expressions. I have pictures in my mind like from a camera.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
Those pictures of beautiful moments become most precious the older we get!
@amiablePeace77
Starting, then finishing, an art piece, and seeing my mom's delighted reaction to it! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
It's a true pleasure to see the delight of something we did in the eyes of the person we love most in the world!
@amiablePeace77
A good way would be allow myself rest. Which I do. Another would be to maybe engage in some sort of activity.
@amicableox0685
You're maintaining balance - rest and activity! 👍
@amiablePeace77
