I’ve always really liked this idea. I already do the toothbrushing thing. Hygiene’s a good category to pull from. A few others I use:
Feeling of cold air
Warmth of sunlight
Warmth of water, be it bathing, dishwashing, etc.
Smell of clean laundry
Smell of coffee/warm beverages
Feel of wearing freshly cleaned clothing
Feel of a fresh shave
I often have long hair, and notice that my hair actually starts to feel heavier the longer it goes unwashed, so, the lightness of freshly washed hair
This, and:
seeing sudden patterns in random objects around me (like archipelagos of melting snow)
choosing just a single book at my parents’ place
eating cherries from the tree
having ice-cream after a field survey in August
watching my kid play with other children (he is often ill, so we always count this as a win)
packing away winter coats...
Nice list! I’ve used most of these as well, but I have a pretty weak sense of smell, so I often forget to pay any attention to the smell ones in the first place. Could add those to my own list. :)
