Gratitude Journaling
It means writing down 5-10 things you're grateful for, for 1-3 days a week. It could be a little thing like a cup of coffee, or a person in your life or an act of kindness.
In many studies, the participants reported more happiness and a higher general life satisfaction after doing this practice for a few weeks. And have even found changes in brain activity some months after they ended.
In the end, how you experience life is a representation of what you believe about it. If you attack your core beliefs about yourself and your life, you can change your thoughts and feelings, which automatically changes your behavior.
