Make time every day to reflect on what went well. It’s important to recognise your successes and the things you are grateful for, no matter how small.
Consider keeping a gratitude journal each day where you could write two or three of these things
every night before you go to bed.
Mindfulness techniques may also help you focus on the present rather than dwelling on unhelpful thoughts (though they may not be helpful for those experiencing more severe depression). We have a number of relaxation and other digital exercises on our website.
