How to find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year by CompassionateMinds

"Maybe optimism really is handy after all, and not just for people who won't let you be sad when you really, really want to."

How I did it: I focused on it, hard.  I didn't let myself slip back into my typical sombre attitude; even if I didn't want to, I logged online and forced myself to find something happy, although it often meant pretending to be sunny and cheerful just so that people on the Internet wouldn't think I'm depressing.  And you know, it works, it honestly does.

Edit: Thanks for all of the comments and cheers, guys.  I really hope that you can accomplish this, too.  <3

brilliant

this is such a brilliant idea
helping us appreciate everything
and see the good, sometimes we underestimate how amasing thigns are

my motto, the bad makes us stronger, and helps us appreciate the good, and everything gets better and easier in the end.

we need more optimism in this world

(google sohp) society of happy people!

Brilliant!!

I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to steal this idea from you! I’ll modify it though so it’s not just writing something down everyday but maybe I can take a picture of something that’s uplifting as well…
Good thought!
