Try writing down things at night that you are grateful for and appreciative for.
It can be anything:
Example: Getting out of bed.
Thankful for a friend.
Thankful that the sun is shining.
Thankful for your children(if you have any)
Look for anything that would make a smile on your face.
Keep log for two months, you can write down as many as you want.
Notice how your thought processes are changing, no negative thoughts,
if they enter your mind......go to your diary/log. Just the smallest things in life are precious.
Keep a schedule of activities that you are going to get done that day.
Morning 8-12
afternoon 12 -4
Evening 4-10
Get enough sleep
Get enough exercise-3 to four days a week. If you aren't exercising, start off gradually. Join the local gym. Try the YMCA.
Volunteer-try a local shelter. Walk those dogs, think of the exercise and UNCONTIONAL LOVE THEY GIVE.
AND PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT. TRY THIS. FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE AROUND YOU
