THREE EMPIRICALLY-PROVEN INTERVENTIONS FOR DEPRESSION

   1,   Gratitude Letter and Visit: 

Write a thoughtful, heart-felt letter of thanks to someone who has made a significant difference in your life (someone you haven't thanked before).  If at all possible, deliver this letter in person.

   2.   Three Good Things: 

At the end of the day, look back and acknowledge three good things that happened during the day and acknowledge why they happened (in other words, "count your blessings").

   3.   Using Signature Strengths of Character in Novel Ways: 

Take the Values in Action Survey.  Identify your personal strengths.  Use them in novel (new) ways.
