How to find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year
It made me
 "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.

Instead I was getting to the end of a day or two and having to think back on "what can I put in for today. it wasn't helping me acknowledge that"hap… Read how I did it…

Appreciative
How I did it: Mainly, I just did it. I've been on this site for not quite three years, and during that time I've followed many people who have had this goal (and similar goals). But I didn't initially jump on board. I worried that I didn't have time or that my entries wouldn't be good enough. I made excuses. But eventually I decided that I needed to start focusing on the positive more.... so, I did it. I don't always… Read how I did it…

reflective
How I did it: It is easy doing something like this online for me, as I am on the computer alot each day. I was intending on doing this everyday for a year but accidently went to the "i've done this" button when i was adding an entry and didnt know how to undo what I did!SO instead I"ve added a new goal of listing what I'm grateful for, daily. It's similar but different! Read how I did it…
