What Went Well

While stuck in a rut, someone suggested that every night I journal the 3 W's of my day: What Went Well. It's a habit I began to love, so I thought I would share what I learned:

Something good always happens - Even on the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days, something always goes well. Most days, multiple things go well…you just have to stop & think.

Reflection is soothing - Looking back on your day helps you realize that those moments that caused you anxiety were really no big deal (usually). Taking some time to reflect on your day & process the events that occurred allows you to keep things into perspective.

It's all relative - Not everyone experiences the same positive moments that you do. The little things that you take delight in can cause angst for the person next to you. It's ok, accept it & keep moving forward.

Journaling is therapeutic - I've never been a fan of journaling, I got bored keeping I diary growing up, but I found this task very easy & therapeutic. I caught myself thinking throughout the day, 'I can add this moment to my What Went Well list tonight.'

The vibes you focus on weigh the heaviest - While constantly taking note of the What Went Well moments of my day, I lost focus on the What Went Bad moments of my day. Those negative moments just stopped carrying weight…my positive vibes ended up weighing more than my negative vibes.

I fully believe that the energy you release into the universe comes back at you, ten-fold. Life is too short for bad vibes.
