The day does not have to be exceptional for its good parts to count.

Days get graded as wholes, and the grade usually comes from the worst hour or from nothing much happening at all. Under that scoring, a good conversation at eleven and a decent walk after lunch get erased because the afternoon was dull. The good parts were still real while you were in them.

Tonight, instead of judging the day, name two moments in it that were fine. Say them out loud or write them down. The point is not to cheer yourself up, only to be accurate about what actually happened.
