Gratitude

I hear about these often. I think I should try making one. It seems like a nice way to think. 

It's called a gratitude journal. Every day, you write down something you're thankful for. Hanging out with a friend, a few minutes to do something creative, or maybe just a hot bowl of soup on a cold day. If things get stressful, you can use the journal to think of the good things. Even if those good things feel very small at the moment. 

Another twist I just learned is a journal for "Good things are always happening to me." For example, you found a parking spot easily, or you got a nice message from a family member. 

When life feels, that's when it's the most important to see the hopeful things.
