In your Journal, make a daily tally of negative and positive events. Create a list - starting from when you wake up in the morning - of all the little things that go right and all those things that go wrong, from burning the toast at breakfast to running into an old friend on the train to work.
"People prone to feeling depressed and down tend to be surprised at how many good things happened to them that day," said Fox. "Something as simple as making a list can help people gradually, over time, notice the good things when they happen."

BONUS JOURNALING TIP
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act. ~Ram Dass
