Start a “positive events journal.” Stay alert all day looking for the good parts. Write them down. As soon you make them your target, they’ll start popping up all over your day, making it a positive, happy day. When you feel that you’re starting to get the hang of it, give yourself the ultimate challenge and monitor the times when you’re not aware (because those are events that you should be aware of too). Train yourself to look for the moments when your mind wanders outside the present.
