Sort of, I keep a gratitude journal. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I add an entry and have been doing it since late 2015.
It's helped me be more appreciative of what I already have and be satisfied with those things instead of always wanting more and more. My mentally before was "I'll be happy when", now my mentally is "I wake up happy and do what it takes to defend that mental state." I find my life feels a lot better now even though you could argue it's about the same.
I mean my kids are all now adults and my relationship with my wife is the best it's ever been and work is amazing and all. But I think for the most part those are going well because I'm going well, not the other way around.
But that's just me.
