Ben, I think that when seemingly good things happen in our sitches, the first thing we usually want to do is ASK them about it so they can reassure us that what we see/hear is something GOOD. RESIST THIS at all costs.
If you think things are looking up, just use that as motivation to work harder on your PMA and such. I know it seems right to "notice" the good, but I think it may backfire sometimes because it often comes off as "Wow, you finally came around to seeing things my way." and not so much as "I really appreciate the last couple days".
Finally, notice the good and use it to generate a smile on your face for an extra 5 minutes today.
