Writing Down What Went Right Today
Habit #15 in my 30-day journey
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough”
― Oprah Winfrey
Why do we find it much easier to focus on what goes wrong in a day than in the good things that happen?
As my good friend Elvis says,
“When things go wrong, don’t go with them.”
― Elvis Presley
I’m at the halfway point now in my month of new habit acquisition. This feels like the perfect place to promote positivity.
Habit #15 is keeping a positivity journal.
Each night before bed I’m going to write down three things that went right today. I’ve tried but failed in the past to keep a gratitude journal so we will see how well I can keep this up. Having this as one of many new habits should help.
Like yesterday’s habit of progressive muscle relaxation, I hope ending the day on positive thoughts will help me sleep better. We shall see.
