- Forgive
Write a letter forgiving someone: could be a friend you feel betrayed you years ago, could be someone who cut you off on the freeway yesterday. Forgiveness doesn't mean you condone their behavior; it means you're going to let it go. In the letter: write what they did; write what you wish they had done; imagine why they might have done it, try to put yourself in their shoes; and say you forgive them. You don't have to send the letter. For more on this process, read the How of Happiness. - Fight Negativity
What's the last negative thought you had about yourself, someone, or something? Divide a sheet of paper in thirds. Write the negative thought on the left. Write what kind of irrational thinking it is in the middle: all-or-nothing thinking? mind reading? prophecy? minimizing? maximizing? mental filter? Write the truth on the right. Repeat - sometimes one negative thought leads to another. For more information on this process, read Feeling Good. - Go To Or Throw A Social Event At The Earliest Opportunity
