Here's something else to try. I see gratitude as looking back at the good stuff. I also add a hope journal. The hope journal looks at things you want to happen. It could be something as simple as I hope I can get out of bed to I hope I get the new job.

Give it a try, if you like.

Thanks for the tip bipolarsojourner. If you feel like it, you could start a hope thread and the rest of us will join you! How does it work? One hope per day? More?

The gratitude list of 5 each day is actually an idea I got from positive psychology research. Can increase a person's subjective level of happiness by ~ 25% over time.

Today I am grateful

that my lungs can breathe fresh air
for a hot shower
for kind gifts from a relative
for the love of my S.O.
for my body and mind...getting me through each day and night

Thank you Universe for another day of Life

Today I am grateful

for a roof over my head
food to eat and water to drink
to my body for carrying me through each day and night no matter what
for the unconditional love and patience of my S.O.
for the few people who responded to a traumatic event with kindness rather than behaving as though it didn't happen

Thank you Universe for the gift of another day of Life
