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

"Life changing"

How I did it: This goal has changed my life. I've learned to find the good in even the worst of days. For the past year, in my blue spiral notebook I've documented all the things that have made me smile everyday, even small things like having something good for dinner or not having homework in math class. Of course it wasn't all good. There were days where I just wrote "I'm alive" but even then I was still finding the positive in being alive despite the struggles I was facing at the time. It was interesting to look back at the things that I'd recorded and watch them change as I did. 

I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that people who recorded the positives of their day for even a short period of time were still feeling the effects 6 months later. That's amazing. So I plan to continue doing this even though a year has passed, maybe even for the rest of my life.
