Keep a Journal

Writing in a journal on a daily basis is a great way to monitor your thoughts, dreams, and goals. Try to write a comprehensive entry into your journal each day that describes the emotions you experienced that day, your mood, any events that made an impact on you, such as something that happened that made you happy or triggered negative feelings. Reading over your entries can give you insight into what situations make you feel down, how you react to them and give you a chance to think of ways to avoid these feelings occurring in the future.
