Everyone get happy!
So K. was reading the paper yesterday and saw a story that included this tip: “Every night, she was to think of three good things that happened that day and analyze why they occurred.”
We’ve practiced something similar in the past (I negotiated for 1 thing), but we never did the analysis part. Now I can’t vouch for how happy it made me—maybe it has something to do with quantity (add two more items) and the lack of analysis–but as the days get darker and colder it’s probably a good idea to start doing this.
Three things from yesterday:
1) Had time to work on conference proposals
2) Finished Shaviro’s Connected
3) Will be picking up my wedding ring (tomorrow/today) after a much needed re-rhodium plating. My hand felt lighter than normal, and I realized how much I play with the ring.
Isn’t the ring-thing amazing? I don’t wear much jewelery anymore, but I used to wear two rings on a daily basis. If I went out in public without those rings on, I felt like my hand was naked. It just felt wrong. The same thing with wearing a watch.
Thinking about the good things and why they happen sounds like a great idea. So far today I came across at least 4 good leads while doing diss. research. Does that count as one thing or more than one thing?
