Positivity Training

Instructions for Positivity Training (You'll need a little notebook):

• Each night when you get into bed, take a few minutes to reflect on your day.
• Jot down 3 things that were good about today. 
• It doesn't matter how big or how small they are, you are not in competition with anyone, not even yourself. Don't compare today to yesterday.
• Notice how it feels in your body to think of the good in your day.
• Hold this feeling as you drift into sleep.

Our ability to scan the environment for danger has served us well in our survival and evolution. But for many of us, this ability is in overdrive, leaving us stressed, anxious, depressed, and fearful.
When you think a certain way for a long time, you strengthen the pathways in your brain that run these thoughts, and it takes deliberate attention and perseverance to form new pathways.
This week's practice is scientifically proven to forge new, more positive pathways in the brain, helping you be more naturally aware of the good that already exists in your life.

"But listen to me.
For one moment quit being sad.
Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you."
