A thought to keep
These questions borrow from a few well-known ideas in positive psychology. Martin Seligman’s “three good things” exercise asks what went well, and why. The VIA classification of character strengths, developed by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, names strengths like persistence, kindness and humor. Fred Bryant’s work on savoring is about slowing down on good moments, and Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion is about treating yourself the way you’d treat a friend.
The thoughts here are meant to be believable, not forced. You don’t have to feel great for something good to be true. A thought that feels even a little true is a fine place to start.
