The 3 Good Things Project

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well and thank you for reading this thread today! Often in our life, we might focus on the things in life that are making us feel unhappy or perhaps just not going how we wanted them to go. We do not spend as much time nearly as we should focused on the things that actually did go reasonably well!

In this reframing exercise, we are going to share daily what 3 good things happened to us and went well in our lives. It can be really simple and seem insignificant to you but please do share! Gradually the practice will open up your awareness into all of the things that did go really well. Once you have shared what went well, please writing down your reasons because then you can relive the positive moment.

The exercise stems from a positive psychology exercise and has been proven in individuals to increase their levels of happiness, increase resilience and work from within to help people feel more balanced and happier.

I'll begin with my 3 good things:

1. Today I went to the park with my children and whilst it was a short visit we were outside in the fresh air and my children had a great day! I felt like we had taken a break from being indoors which as we all know is very important to our wellbeing
2. I am able to spend quality time with my family and this went well today because it made me feel like I had done something meaningful in my life
3. Something very simple but I have a clean kitchen which makes me generally feel more settled knowing that things are in place :)

Please share your 3 good things and why it went well for you!
