I started a gratitude journal like she promoted. It changed the way I thought about my daily life. I learned to count my blessings and not my tribulations.

I can’t improve the world but I improved my outlook. Choose to be happy not dour.

Edit: Then a graduated to making a list of songs that are happy: a few

Blue Sky Allman Brothers

Dancing in the Moonlight. King Harvest

Walking in Sunshine Katrina and the Waves

Here Comes the Sun. Beatles

You Should Be Dancing BeeGees
