Think about all the money you leave on the table every day by first hardly noticing the good facts around you, like you did early this morning. How cool. The sky, the early light. the spaceship going up there. Wow, how neat. Notice them. So if people say a nice thing about you or you get something done, don't just blaze past it, hardly noticing it. Try to recognize the good fact.

And then second, when it's a good fact, it's an authentic, legitimate, good fact, usually a little one. I call them ordinary jewels, but it's real. Let yourself feel it. That's the other thing. So many people, frankly, especially men, not as a generalization, they recognize a good fact. They're not deluded or psychotic, but they don't feel it.

They don't slow down for the two, three seconds it takes to shift from the idea to the experience in the body of feeling. whatever, a sense of relief, a sense of satisfaction, feeling of connection, that moment of awe and ease, spaciousness you had this morning. They don't feel it. So don't feel it. Don't waste it, right? You earned it or it was God's gift to you or the universe's gift to you.

It would be churlish not to receive the gift, right? Feel it. And then once you're starting to feel it, help your brain. which has this bias. That poor little brain needs your help. Slow down. I've written a lot about this. People can look at my published paper on learning to learn from positive experiences, learning to learn from positive experiences.

And I go through the neurology of this and eight different factors. But for me, the big three, anyone is good, the more the better. Slow down for a few seconds or more to stay with the experience. Keep the neurons firing together so they have time to wire together. Second, Feel it in your body as much as you can. Open to it in your body.

The more embodied an experience is, the more it tends to register in the neural nets of memory. And third, appreciate what's meaningful or enjoyable about it. And that quality, the reward value of the experience that you can heighten through this third method, third technique, increases its registration and consolidation in neural memory. Deal with the bad, turn to the good. That is also true.
