As an experiment, I'd like you to try this out today:
• Notice as many good things that are happening as possible... they don't have to be huge: someone smiles at you, you accomplish a small task, you're cozy under a warm blanket...
• Stay with the feeling of each one for 10-30 seconds, making it more important and bigger in your mind.
• You can even imagine it as something that is sinking into you — perhaps a warm, glowy ball or a soothing balm over your heart.
