Small enough to miss
Share
Some good moments are small enough to slip past. A warm cup, a kind word, the quiet after a long day.
Some people find that naming just one of them at the end of the day stays with them longer than the day itself. Some research on writing down a few good things each evening suggests it may lift mood and ease low feelings over time.
What would yours be tonight?
What you'll need
- A quiet minute before sleep
- Somewhere to write one line
Method
Each evening, before sleep, look back over the day.
Pick one small thing that felt good, however ordinary, and write it down in a line.
Give it a week or two of evenings, and notice whether the small joys get easier to spot, and which ones keep turning up.
