Journal
It can really help your mental health and well being to keep a journal. Jotting down your thoughts and feelings every day might not seem like the most important thing when you are living them anyway, but it gives you something to look back on and see how much progress you have made, and how much you have achieved even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Talk on Your Commute
Put a little bit more friendliness in to your daily commute by making the effort to have some light conversation with your fellow commuters. It can be a really insulating and ostracising start to the day when everyone just has their headphones stuck in their ears.

Take Photos
Start the habit and challenge of taking one photograph of something pretty every single day. It will help to put you in the mindset of always looking out for the beautiful things in life, and you will have a stunning collection by the end of the year!

Make Plans
Give yourself things to look forward to by making lots of different plans with friends and family. Whether its vacations, parties, or just simple wine and cheese nights at home, all of these events will help to shape your year in a much more positive and exciting way.

Priorities
Get into the habit of setting priorities for your evenings at home, almost like doing homework from your school days. Get the boring and essential tasks out of the way as soon as you get in, and that will leave you with the whole evening to be able to sit back and relax and enjoy things like movies, TV, books, and good company.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Outsourcing
If you are in a financial position to be able to do so, you should look in to outsourcing some of the tasks that make your life miserable. There is no shame in having a cleaner if housework puts you in a funk, and things like meal subscription services completely eliminate the need for food shopping!

Gratitude
Remember to express gratitude in your life; it’s just like flexing a muscle to keep it healthy! Make little lists of three or so things that you are grateful for each week, trying not to replicate old answers, and you will see in time just how many good things you have going for you.
