Day 6: Build Positive Experiences:
Come up with a list of activities that make or might make you happy. Schedule at least one day in advance, one positive experience for the following day. e.g. Have tea with your friend, go to a movie, or go for a walk, etc.
The more we fill our day with opportunities to feel good, our emotions will follow suit.
Log in your journal what you will do today and tomorrow to build one or more positive experiences into your day. Also log how you feel, having engaged in these positive activities. Continue this throughout the rest of the challenge.
This will boost your level of happiness and optimism.
