Writing a Diary: A Trick of Keeping Happy
http://www.chinapromotionalgifts.com/products/Holiday-Promotional-Series.htm
Author Dr Stefan Klein has found that being happy is a skill that can be learned like a foreign language, and one
way to train ourselves to be happy is to write down the little things that cheer us up each day – a technique he
practises himself.

Dr Klein, who analysed psychological research for his book The Science of Happiness, added he often writes
about his three young children, despite occasionally finding them incredibly annoying.

Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, the German-born researcher said that decades of study into happiness
has shown that people who are clinically depressed often believe there are no sources of joy in their lives.

But a study by Italian psychiatrist Giovanni Fava found that when patients were asked to keep diaries of events
that made them happy, it 'helped them a lot to get better.

Dr Klein said: 'It is incredibly simple - you just sit down in the evening and write down the moments where you feel
happy and the circumstances. The object of the exercise is to simply make you more aware of these moments to know
yourself better.

Even in states of severe depression there are moments of happiness, but the person suffering it doesn't believe they have t
hese moments in their lives.

And if you decide to take Dr Klein's advice, you can make yourself even happier by recommending the technique to
others.
