Write down three good things that happened to you today. They can be anything you feel
good about or grateful for. Use this sheet to keep a record of your Three Good Things each
day for a week. Try to include why you felt each of the things was really good. Write down
your three good things every day if possible – but if for some reason you miss a day then
don't worry, just carry on the next day.
