Finding Silver Linings
Change your outlook on a negative event — and enjoy less stress.
1. What are five things that make your life enjoyable or worthwhile right now?
List five aspects of your life, big or small, that bring you joy or fulfillment in this moment.
2. Recall a recent frustrating or upsetting event. Briefly describe what happened.
In a few sentences, outline a situation that didn't go your way or left you feeling irritated.
3. List three things that help you see the bright side of this situation.
Consider unexpected benefits, long-term insignificance, and personal growth. For example, if you missed your bus: Did you get some exercise running for it? Are you grateful for reliable public transportation? Will this matter in ten years?
