One good thing
Share
By evening, the difficult parts of a day are easy to recall. The small good ones are easier to lose.
Some people find that naming one small joy from the day — a warm cup, a kind word, a patch of sun — changes how the day settles. Some research suggests that regularly noticing good moments may support wellbeing, though the findings are mixed.
What would tonight's be?
What you'll need
- A quiet minute before sleep
- Somewhere to keep one line, if you like
Method
At the end of the day, think back over it once.
Pick one small thing that was good, however ordinary, and name it. Write the line if you like.
Give it a week of evenings, and notice whether the good ones get easier to find, and how the day feels as you close it.
