One commitment to a focus on wellness included writing in a journal about gratitude.
The well know psychologist Laurie Santos is a professor at Yale who teaches a course on the science of wellness. Finding her course on Coursera, I took an audit since the topic was interesting to me. Not withstanding I read Kelly's book on Happiness, and gave it a positive review. The impact book had an impact on my life, I used it at home when I needed to help my roommate get out of a severe depression. Somehow that smile was contagious - it caught on like fire. I can't put down Santo's course on wellness, since the rewirements are an ongoing process leading to that goal of achieving overall wellbeing. The book was free and the course was an audit but the time spent with it was more than I expected.
Savor the experience - being present in the moment, and connecting to the experience. I did it at the Diner in Brunswick NY. My roommate was enjoying his favorite dish - fish medley. Just an attempt at enjoying my friend's company without much of an agenda. Since there was always an agenda for me, I made that small change which I made the day one one I would always remember.
