One Positive Action

The Gratitude 1-2-3

Here’s a little gratitude game to shake up your day: the Gratitude 1-2-3. It’s simple, I promise. Just write down one person you’re grateful for, two things you appreciate, and three tiny moments that brought you a little joy today.

It doesn’t have to be profound, if your “person” is the barista who gave you extra foam, that totally counts. Gratitude doesn’t need a grand gesture; it lives in the little stuff.

The magic here is in the reflection. Think about how these things, big or small, fit into your life. That friend who texted you a meme this morning? They’re part of your support system. That comfy chair you love to collapse into? It’s a tiny piece of luxury you get to enjoy every day. Even those three seconds of sunshine that hit your face between errands, yep, those moments matter. When you start noticing them, you realize there’s a lot more good in your life than you might think.

This exercise isn’t just feel-good fluff; it’s a mental shift. When you focus on what’s going right, it makes the less-than-fantastic parts of your day feel a little smaller. Plus, it’s way more healthy than doom-scrolling social media. So grab a pen, make your list, and feel the gratitude!
