Create a “Gratitude” List

Write a list of things in life that you’re truly grateful for–whether it is your family, career, or even the pets you have in your home. Creating a gratitude list gives perspective. Do you have food in your home? A roof over your head? Friends who truly know and love you for who you are? Maybe you simply have excellent cooking skills or take enjoyment in spending time with loved ones. No matter how simple the items are you are grateful for, it’s certainly a mood boost if you’re feeling down on yourself.

Take a Stroll Back to Memory Lane

Think back to where you were 5, 10, or even 30 years ago. Have you gained more knowledge? Wisdom? Have you made new career moves, met new friends, or even started a family? Any time you are feeling a bit less than happy, just remember you have worked hard to get to where you are today.

Consider The Obstacles You Have Overcome

Did you work hard to get promoted at your job? How about graduating high school or college? Remember getting through hurdles of paying off debt or getting bills in on time? Maybe you just got out of bed this morning and that in itself was a win. Consider obstacles you have faced and overcome in the past to find the relief you seek when you aren’t as happy as usual.
