This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. If you're a fan of The Happiness Lab, you know we talk a lot about the power of attention. How small shifts in what we focus on can make a huge difference to our psychological well being.
But making those shifts is often easier said than done. Many of us have plenty of things in our lives to be grateful for. Friends, family, an awesome pet, maybe. There's also all the smaller stuff. A TV show you really enjoy.
That first sip of coffee in the morning. or cutting into an avocado and discovering that it's perfectly ripe. But at a time when we're bombarded with scary news about AI and war and the climate. When it's so easy to spend hours online doom scrolling. Those good things can start to fade into the background.
