Say for example, you have 10 great experiences today, but then you have 1 negative one - someone cuts you off in traffic and makes a rude gesture - it's our nature to focus on that 1 negative experience, while we just let the really positive experiences wash through us. But there's power in those positive experiences if we learn to absorb them, focusing on them for an additional 10, 20, 30 seconds, and taking in all of the good feelings that come with them.
