We focus too much on what's wrong in our lives instead of learning to stretch out good moments and grow joy, peace, and gratitude daily – which might actually be the key to a more fulfilling life.

• The concept of "moments of more" – consciously amplifying positive experiences rather than quickly moving past them
• Our biological tendency to focus on the negative (confirmation bias) and how modern challenges reinforce this pattern
• Science shows focusing on positive experiences broadens awareness, builds resilience, and trains our brains
• How to practice: when you feel joy/gratitude/peace, pause and ask "can I feel this more?"
• Start small if you're struggling – notice even tiny flickers of "not so bad" feelings
• Three journal prompts to explore expanding positive moments in your life
