Mr. Gardner helps keep his psychological immune system healthy by writing in a journal twice a day. He leaves it open on his desk and makes entries before he starts work in the morning and when he turns off his computer at night. Each time, he follows a series of five writing prompts, including, "What is your big task for the day?" "What is your 90-day goal?" "What was your big win?" "What lessons did you learn?" But one question is more important than all the others, and so he starts and ends his day with it: "What are you grateful for?" Sometimes his answers are simple: sunshine, a bird chirping or a long walk. But often his answers are bigger: the slower pace of life, quality time with his wife, the baby the couple is expecting.
