Positive thinking, positive reinforcement, cognitive therapy, what ever you want to call it... it doesn't hurt to give it a try, right?

Please take the time to write down 3 good things today. It can be something that happened today or yesterday, something you plan to do that will make you happy, or maybe even a quote or some small thing that makes you smile.

Don't compare your positive things to others and don't worry that they aren't big enough or good enough. As long as its something GOOD, big or small, and that it helped you, that's all that matters.

We try to post this every day. So there's no pressure. Feel free to jump in when you feel up to it. If you don't find this post helpful, then please just ignore it.

---------------------------

Basically you post 3 things that you've found positive from today or yesterday... and then if you're so inclined, help some other people out with a boost of positivity if they're having a hard time!

If anyone wants to participate at any time, please feel free... post every single day if it helps you out at all!!

My 3 good things for today...

1. I've finished my move to my summer residence room, and I like my roommate... and even with my family helping, they didn't drive me bonkers!
2. Music makes me happy
3. I have free time right now before my trip/vacation tomorrow!

Today has been kind of negative so far so I better see if I can do this:

1. I spoke with my husband on the phone and we laughed together.

2. I am going to go upstairs in a minute and see my beautiful, silly parrots.

3. I will follow the idea that my dad came up with for me for my remaining days of not having a job-- complete one thing I HAVE to do and one thing I WANT to do.

Sometimes we have to look for the positive and beauty in life...and sometimes they can be the smallest things. I'm glad you were able to list some positive things even though your day has been negative.

Mine:

1. Dad just cut the grass (aaah...I love the smell of freshly cut grass!)
2. My sis is supposed to visit today
3. I don't have to cook today! woot!

2) It wass a beautiful, warm and sunny day today after days of rain and cold.

and 3) I heard good things from my new boss about my weekend training session.
