Have you listed mainly thoughts of past events, such as a conversation with your partner,  things in the future you have to do, such as what you are going to cook for dinner,  or noticed objects around you, smells, temperature or noises perhaps? Are your thoughts and feelings focused on positive things or do they have a more negative bias?

Now repeat the exercise and consciously focus on positive aspects of your life and surrounding and consider how that feels?
