How to leverage your senses for maximum experience:

Whether it is savoring the taste of your dinner, feeling the glow of the sun on your skin, or appreciating the beauty of a nature walk, bring yourself to full attention within the present moment.
2. Be engaged: Living is all about the experiences. How often do you stop to engage your senses in the moment? Experiment with different textures, flavors, scents and sounds. Take the time to notice how these things make you feel and how they affect your emotions and your overall mood.
