The five techniques: Do one at a time. Do it for 21 days.
- Sometime during your day, perhaps best at bedtime, write down three things you are grateful for that have occurred in the past 24 hours. Also, write down why you are grateful. Each day find 3 new ones.
- Think of a meaningful experience from you life for two minutes each day. Write down every detail you can remember. As you do this look at the words you used to describe your experience. (The words we use describe us)
- Add fifteen minutes of a fun activity each day with energy. This creates a cascading effect over the days. This is to be an active event.
- Consciously add three smiles to your day. As you go through your day smile a people until three of them have replied spontaneously with a return smile.
- Reconnect to your social network. Each day take two or three minutes to write to a person that you know and tell them how much and why you are grateful to have them in your life.Simple and powerful.
