Achieving Happiness

I recently saw an article by Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, called Achieving Happiness Despite Everyday Challenges, see:

Part of the article was entitled: Never Give Up On the Good Times and I thought it was brilliant as it gave me another reason to write everyday.  He says:

Take two minutes every day to write down every detail you can remember about one positive experience that occurred over the past 24 hours.  As our brains can't tell much difference between visualization and actual experience, by rehashing a high point in the day you double the effect of that positive experience.  Overall, this leads to greater life satisfaction and meaning.  Studies have shown that women who wrote about positive experiences were 40 percent more likely to live to age 94 than their negative peers.
