So there's a load of evidence that says that repeatedly reflecting on positive achievements and events causes an increase in happiness.
Sounds like new agey good vibes rubbish, I know, but there's a solid evidence base to it.
Other evidence suggests that sharing positive things socially has positive happiness boosts, both to the sharer and the people hearing about happiness things.
Anyway, a little happiness boost is always appreciated, so let's give this a go.
Here's the thread rules:
1) Aim to post three positive things that have happened to you in the last 24 hours. Do this once every 24 hours for at least a week.
2) Keep the negativity off the thread. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. If you just want to be critical or snarky, then keep it to yourself or post it somewhere else.
3) If you want to look up the evidence for this approach, then go google it. Don't turn this thread into a discussion of whether the technique works, just use this thread to carry out the exercise. If you're really determined to be critical of the process, start another thread.
Anyway, gonna give this a go. I'll start off next post.
(*cos someone asked, CBT stands for cognitive behavioural therapy)
Two women is the most I've ever managed within that time period, and that was in my younger and wilder days. Also, same hair colour, as they were sisters, haha.
