TJ Walker writes one thing he's optimistic about and one thing he's grateful for each morning, triggered by a calendar reminder. He's done this for years and says the optimism entry lifts his mood while gratitude reinforces a positive outlook.
Here's what I do every single day, not occasionally, not when I feel like it, every day. I have a reminder. It's actually a calendar notification. It's in my morning journal notes because I don't rely on motivation. I rely on systems. And when that reminder goes off, when it's staring at me on the screen, I do two things. Number one, I write down one thing I'm optimistic about. I do it every day and have done it for years. It puts me in a better and well, optimistic mood. I also write down one thing I'm grateful for. Ultimize.
