A success journal , three good things

The brain remembers the negative more easily. This exercise trains your eye for what works, demonstrably good for your mood.

Here’s how

1. Each evening, write down three things that went well today, however small.
2. Add briefly: “Why was it good?” or “What was my part in it?”
3. Do it for a week. It’s not about duty, but about practising your perspective.

A calm self-help exercise, no substitute for therapy. Leave out whatever doesn’t feel good.
