Each night, you find yourself thinking about the mistakes you made that day: that missed math question, the flubbed note in choir practice, or that awkward run-in with your crush. You fall asleep stressing over what could go wrong tomorrow.
WHY IT WORKS: Our brains naturally tend to give more weight to negative experiences than positive ones. But by writing down positive experiences, you can redirect your focus. Research shows that naming and reflecting on three good things each day can reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall happiness.
