It sometimes is hard to stay positive. This can happen to everyone. One of the reasons is our negativity bias. A mindset settled in each individual to help us make decisions that will keep us from harm. But sometimes you can lose track and linger in the negative. So fighting this negativity can help you to achieve more.
This practice has its origin from the positive psychology. It will help you to find your strengths and become more self-aware and gain more self-confidence. This by reflecting what has gone well on a daily basis.
When you are reflecting, do you have the tendency to think about the things that did not go so well? Then this practice is perfect for you!
This practice can be done every day. This will be the most effective when you find a rhythm. It will only take 5 minutes each day.
Create a digital (or a paper) and write today's date down. This will be your positive reflection diary! Now note down three things that happened today which were positive. Behind these three things, write what you did to make this happen. By doing this every day, you will collect a collection of positivity!
This is a positive focussed practice and can bring you these things:
