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.
