3. Decide On How
   Would you prefer to write long, descriptive paragraphs about what you appreciate about your life, or are you more of a list person. You can choose to write about a certain number of topics per day, or undertake to journal whatever seems right for the day. Do what works best for you. The main idea is to get yourself into a place of reflection and gratitude.
   
   
4. Promise Yourself To Stick to A Schedule
   Once a day is a good beginning. First thing in the morning can help change your mood and result in a more positive day, or last thing at night can put you in a peaceful frame of mind and induce a more restful sleep.
