Today we’re diving into the power of those tiny, everyday moments—what I like to call ‘micro moments’ of love. Picture this: a quick smile, a shared laugh, or even just making eye contact. These little interactions don’t just brighten your day; they’re scientifically proven to release oxytocin (a.k.a. the bonding hormone) and chip away at stress. I mean, who wouldn’t want more of that? But let’s be real, it’s not just about holding hands with your LOL—it’s about creating an emotional connection in all those small but mighty ways. Think shared meals, a favorite song belted out together, or even swapping memes. These are the building blocks of love that truly stick.So, here’s my holiday wish for you: take a breath, be present, and notice these moments. Whether it’s sitting down for a chaotic family dinner or smiling at a stranger, lean into the magic of connection. Because love is everywhere—if you’re looking for it. Let’s make 2025 the year of sparking joy in every micro moment!Mentioned Resources: Love 2.0 by Dr. Barbara FredricksonAbout the Host:Meet Crystal, your relationship and social health coach.
