When to use it
Use it when stress is making you focus mainly on what is going wrong.
How to apply it
- Set aside a few minutes at the end of each day.
- Write down three things that went well.
- For each, write why it went well.
- Keep the entries specific and brief.
- Continue for at least a week before judging its effect.
Tip: Small events count; the habit of noticing matters more than the size of the event.
