Practice gratitude
Studies show that gratitude journaling can increase your happiness and overall mood. Try writing down or saying out loud a few things you are grateful for to remind yourself what you can be appreciative of. Expressing gratitude for the simple moments in life (such as finding a new favorite book or having an unexpected day off) is just as important as celebrating the big events. You can also keep a running gratitude list in your phone’s note-taking app that you can quickly reference whenever you need a mood boost.
