What’s the last beautiful moment you had? Did you write it down or share it with someone? New research by my friend Jennifer @Aaker and her colleagues at @StanfordGSB shows that beautiful moments catalyze mindfulness, connection, and even memory preservation. Their study found that those who journaled about their beautiful (vs. happy) moments had a 137% richer visual perception of them and nearly 20% greater memory accuracy. Now, along with journalist @JennaAbdou, Jennifer is starting a project to help people do just that, leading a week-long Beautiful Summer Adventure. It’s about moving through your day looking for what lights you up — with each day being a portal into love, humor, grace, and serendipity. All you have to do is… 1) Find a buddy. 2) Text them a beautiful moment each day. I’m doing it with my daughter, Isabella – memorializing all the beautiful moments I’m sharing with my grandchildren (and Isabella’s nephew and niece), almost 3-year-old Alexander and his new 5-week-old sister Annabel.
