This is one that I challenged my friend with a few days ago.
Upon waking up, find something good to be happy about. It can be anything that makes you happy.
Yesterday, it was feeling rested. Today, it was pretty pink clouds at sunrise.
It sounds easy, right? When you're depressed, it can be quite a challenge to find just one happy thought. It's also tough if you're used to thinking negatively. It's like drinking a really bad wine. The first gulp is awful. The second one isn't much better, and after the third, you hardly notice anymore. But it still does harm to you, all the same. And you get "hooked" on the intoxication.
It's the same way with thinking dark thoughts. They're not good for you, but they're habit-forming.
Well, give this exercise a try. It doesn't matter how small the happy thought is, just do it. Get into the habit of thinking happy, one thought at a time.
