Make this the last thing you do before bed

Why? Because research suggests that the last thing you pay attention to before sleep will stay in your mind. This is the reason you should try to avoid reading the news at bedtime.

Giving yourself a jolt of positivity is useful any time of day, but it's a particularly powerful thing to do right before you go to sleep because that too will stick with you. It's sure to better your mood and increase your motivation, and that effect might even last through your mood the following day.
