                             First, I want to introduce you to Judith Moskowitz, a psychologist at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. For the past 20 years, she’s been researching how to help people cope with stressful experiences, such as caring for a spouse with dementia or living with cancer.
                             <br/>
                             <br/>
                             Even in these tough situations, Moskowitz found people still wanted to talk about good things, like seeing a lovely sunset or sharing a tasty meal with a friend.

                          And the people who noticed more of these bright spots tended to cope better.
                          <br/>
                          <br/>
                          So Moskowitz developed an online course that teaches eight strategies to boost your day-to-day well-being, no matter what you’re dealing with.

                       <br/>
                       The first skill to tackle is to pay more attention to the good stuff in your daily life. Moskowitz says this may require you to fight against nature: Humans have evolved to notice negative stuff to help us stay safe.

                        So make an effort to do the opposite:

                       “Broaden your focus and notice the good things that are going on,” she says. Here's how to get started:

                        You probably didn’t win the lottery, but did you luck out in another way? Maybe you snagged a good deal on a concert ticket or a new piece of clothing, or a favorite song played on the radio.

                        For me, a recent moment started with a knock on my door. My neighbor brought me apples she’d picked at a farm, which gave me that lovely taste of fall I’d been waiting for.
                        <br/>
                        <br/>

She's built one into her daily commute, which takes her by a favorite restaurant with tasty breakfast burritos. “I never know which one I’m going to get,” she says, which adds to her anticipation.

                        we have the power to rewire our brains.

                       <br/>
                       She points to studies that show parts of the brain become activated when people are engaged in acts of kindness or compassion. And this can start to build new connections. “The more this happens, the more efficient these connections become,” she explains.
                       <br/>
                       <br/>
                       Just as someone can get good at playing a sport by repeating the same motor movement over and over again, the same is true of positive emotional practices, Mishra says. "And it can become a self-fulfilling positive cycle,” she says.

                       She says you can “practice” swapping negative feelings for positive ones — for example, instead of being annoyed at an imperfect video-chat connection, let yourself be amazed we have the technology to see a friend halfway around the world.
