Practicing gratitude regularly has been shown to increase positive emotions and improve well-being. “Three good things” is a classic gratitude exercise in which participants write down three good things from their day, whether big or small. My favorite Daily Journal Template incorporates this exercise both morning and evening, and only takes 5 minutes. Try it for a week and see what you notice!

Date:

  • Morning –
