Think of three good things
Achor advises us to take two minutes a day to think about three new things we are grateful for and why. Better yet, we just write it all down so we can look back at it at the end of the week. "This will train your brain to be more optimistic," says Achor.

Double memory
Think of one positive experience each day. Remember details about the experience, such as what we wore and what we said. "Your brain in that moment relives the experience," says Achor. In this way, we can "double" that memory. Do this for 21 days straight and you will begin to see the meaning of your life.
