I thought we needed a thread like this! There have been a lot of threads about negative stuff and ranting, but no threads about what is good with your life.
It has been proven that if someone thinks about three positive things that have happened/been achieved every day and how/why they happened, that these people gain a far more positive outlook on life and begin to strive to achieve more. It also lifts the mood, slowly but surely and can help improve mood in a lasting way by changing the way you look at yourself and life.
I am in love with learning about Cognitive Psychology lol. I have spent a year of my life in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and now I am learning all about it from the other side and its fascinating! To see the results in myself and then to learn how it came about.
So what have you achieved today that has made you happy or feel positive? It can be the most insignificant thing in the world, so long as it means something to you!
For me, today:
- I got up and have got on with coursework despite the fact that for the first time in ages, I am home alone and could potentially have ignored my work and slept for hours more.
- I figured out how to change the tv and computer settings to allow me to play music through our surround system and it is epic! For a technophobe, i impress myself!
- I am not as far behind with my coursework as I thought I was! Today I have finished my essay plan and my introduction already!
So how about you? What have you achieved today? Are you brave enough to take up the challenege of thinking of three positive things you have achieved in a day, every day for at least a week?
I'm supposed to be making Cornish piskies, and water changing the silvertips but have done nothing *sighs*
Everyone seems to be achieving a lot, even those having a laid back day are achieving lots
