I came across this tip from The Little Book of Calm by Paul Wilson – “Stockpile beautiful moments – write them down, keep a photo, keep a record in your computer. Then recall these moments often, reflecting on them, taking pleasure in them, integrating them into your day-to-day routine and outlook.”

 

Scrapbooking has become a very popular pastime. People are blogging in huge numbers. Both these activities can be used to improve mental health simply by focusing on the positive and storing up good memories to take out and reflect upon when you have One Of Those Days.

 

If you’re putting effort into either scapbooking or blogging, then don’t forget to review and reflect upon your work from time to time. That way you’ll get maximum return for your “investment.”

 

P.S. Another tip from Paul Wilson: “Grow your own! Gardeners are among the most calm and relaxed people (while they’re gardening) you’ll find.”
