hiMoment can be used for more than just improving your happiness. You can also use it to learn any attitude, train any skill, and find motivation for any activity.
That’s a bold statement, but when we investigate what happiness is we’ll learn why. You see, from an evolutionary point of view, happiness is not an end in itself, but simply a reward for learning.
With happiness and learning so closely connected, it’s easy to understand why the methods that help us learn also can make us happier.
Develop attitude through attention
Do you want to gain confidence? Become a better listener? Do you want to learn to love your body (please do!)? Like happiness, any attitude can be trained with hiMoment by simply putting our attention to it.
So in addition to writing down what made you happy, capture anything related to the attitude you want to develop that happened today. Initially, it is about finding the tiniest things. And when you need an extra dose of that attitude, FLOW through your moments or look up your designated collection. You can learn attitudes just as quickly as you learned to focus on the good things.
Train skill through repetition
We have already learned that our brain needs repetition to learn new things. hiMoment allows you to track your learning experience, can serve as a notebook for new ideas, and is a great way to look back at your progress.
Want to become a better photographer? Start your #photography collection. Become a better writer? Write a small #poetry moment every day. Learn programming? Write down your learnings every day. hiMoment will help you build a habit.
Sustain motivation through small achievments
Whatever it is that you wish to become good at — your workout, career, or studies — the most effective thing you can do is to celebrate each small success along the way and make sure you revisit them frequently.
As our learning curve flattens and we see fewer success, we often get discouraged to push through. But putting our attention on small victories breaks this pattern. And being reminded of what we have achieved before gives us a motivation boost. So make sure you capture your #workoutprogress, #topatmyjob, or #zeroprocrastination successes.
