Keep a journal and commit to writing in it every day. Even if you don’t have any- thing to say, you can just write how you felt about the day or about some things that happened that made you feel happy or grateful. Some days you’ll write a lot and some days you’ll write very little, but no matter what, commit to writing each day. A journal also serves as a record of the things you have accomplished and the goals you have met, and it helps prove that you have overcome problems in the past. Going back and reading your journal can give you inspiration and motivation, plus it can be cathartic to get your feelings onto paper rather than keeping them bottled up inside.

Hack 223 – Shorten the Time You Feel Pissed Off
People will piss you off—it’s part of life, and feeling frustrated is a natural reaction that you often can’t control. But what you can control is how long you let that feeling control you. Don’t allow yourself to become stuck in feelings of anger or resentment! That will only take you down a negative path, one that will let the anger in you grow. Instead, feel pissed off, acknowledge the wrong that was done to you, and then start to let it go. Holding anger inside will just poison your happiness.
