Gratitude Reflection Exercise: 3 Good Things
This therapeutic exercise is best used daily, at the end of your day. Its aim is to help you reflect on the good things in your life, and so can help you boost your gratitude as well as overall happiness and well-being.
Step 1: Think of any 3 good things that happened today.
Step 2: Use this thread to list them down.
Step 3: While listing them down, also list why the good things happened. This is the most important step of the exercise so do not skip the "why"!
1. I am grateful for a fun lunch with my colleague at work. It was good to laugh and i felt happier.
2. I am grateful for my new lamp at home. My partner bought it for me and helped to hang it on the wall. It is important because i feel loved and cared for.
3. I am grateful that one of my bosses asked for my opinion. This matters because i feel more important and my work has a value.
1. I am grateful for a guided chakra meditation. Because it helps me clear my mind.
2. I am grateful for a new physical dashboard where i can draw my thought and put todo stickers. Because it helps me be organised and self aware.
3. I am grateful for having dinner with my partner. Because we discuss lots of things and share new memories. I trust him and want to share more about myself..
My 3 good things today:
- My mom finally got a surgery scheduled that she’s been procrastinating. This is good because she is a caregiver and takes care of everyone but herself. It made me happy to see her do something that she needs to do for herself.
- I was really able to make a difference for a member who was feeling overwhelmed. This made me feel good because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed. And now the member feels much better and has some next steps to take.
- I was able to accomplish some decluttering in my dining room. This is good because I’ve been procrastinating for 2 months. I finally stopped procrastinating!
- I went for a walk. Why this good thing happened because I have legs and a healthy heart!
- My cat took a nap next to me and purred. Why this good thing happened because I adopted him from a no kill shelter and he loves his new home.
- I took a hot shower followed by a cold plunge. Why this happened today is because I’m grateful to have running water in my home. And a roof over my head.

Today I made really great black coffee. It energized my mood.
I slept peacefully in night and woke up happily.
I did my chores. It made me feel productive.
Overall it has been Good morning.
1) I’m grateful for my cat. Today he slept on my bed and every time I reached over to pet him, he trilled a little. That was a special time for me because I know he loves me.
2) I’m grateful for the rain we got today. It was a good thing because my room was dark enough to sleep well, we need it, and it could have been snow instead. Better a wet commute than an icy one.
3) I’m grateful for the PCT I’m working with tonight. He’s a good worker, never fails to be cheerful, and always does what I ask him to do in a timely manner. I rarely ask him for something, so I am very grateful for his cheerful nature.
