Reminding yourself of the things you’re grateful for helps you live a happy life, and journaling helps your memory.
“Imagine you carry around a BAG that collects all of your emotions, experiences and things throughout your day,” said Cara Maksimow, LCSW, CPC, a New Jersey-based licensed clinical therapist and social worker. “At the end of each day, take a moment to rid yourself of all the negativity by taking a deep breath and visualizing yourself dumping the contents of your BAG that may be holding you back from feeling happy, motivated and energized.”
Use the acronym “BAG” to remind yourself (B) what was the best and brightest part of the day, (A) what you accomplished during the day, and (G) what you are grateful for and why it is important, she said.
