This might be my favorite post so far! For this week's blog assignment, my class was asked to write down three good things that we did or had happened to us at the end of that day, everyday for a week. The Three Good Things project was conducted for positive psychology research, positive psychology being founded by Martin Seligman. It's purpose was to improve the quality of life of those who did the experiment and help them acknowledge the good things in life no matter how big or small. Another great resource to use for adding some positivity in life is the Greater Good in Action website, if you want to check that out. My own personal experience and findings while trying Three Good Things will be used in my own research project about positive psychology. Some backstory on my journal. I formally used this journal to document thoughts and emotions I couldn't verbally express to anyone, some being very angry and insecure thoughts during some darker times in my life. I look back in this journal now as my life has progressed since then and I see nothing but negativity. So, why not use it for positivity now? I look at documenting my Three Good Things in this journal now will give it a refreshing and more hopeful new start. Also, my handwriting changes a lot. Sorry.

Measuring the amount of times I was engaged in the accronym PERMA in my Three Good Things project. PERMA stands for, positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement.

Thanks for sharing this post. I appreciate your conversation about how the three good things process provides you with a lens—to both reveal the negative nature of the precious journal entries and to shift toward a more positive exploration of life and writing.
