  7. Exercise • Three Good Things • Think of three things you are thankful for. These can be big things, such as good health, supportive relationships, and career successes, or little things such as a perfect cup of coffee or hearing your favourite song on the radio. • Write down three things (ideally each day for a week) and now take a few minutes to be thankful for aspects of your life that may go unnoticed. • Example: Today, I am/was grateful for: • 1. A surprise phone call from Maria - she is such a treasured friend. • 2. That the strategic meeting at work was a success - I received some great feedback on my project. • 3. The smell of cut grass after mowing the lawn.
