Savoring What You Have
<p>Olivia describes how “savoring” can boost your financial well-being. By turning our attention to what we already have rather than what we lack, we can decrease anxiety, improve our cognitive functioning, and boost feel-good neurochemicals like serotonin and dopamine. Learn how to apply the "Three A's" of savoring—Attend, Amplify, and Absorb—to appreciate your current wardrobe, vehicle, home, and even relationships. Discover how simple acts like deep cleaning your car or organizing your closet can provide a sense of newness that saves you money and ultimately increases your net worth. </p>
