For the next week I will be writing a research paper on the “three good things” gratitude process. For this blog post I am practicing writing the findings section of the paper.
I first found out about this process in my english composition class. Each week we are assigned to write a blog. When it came time for a new post, our professor to us to try the “three good things process.” He assigned us to write down three good things that happen. So I did. I made a journal, and for seven days I wrote down three good things that happened to me. It was a new experience. I found that while writing I started to feel appreciative. It put me in a good mood. Hoewer, while it did put me in a good mood, it didn’t last that long. After 10 or 20 minutes I went back to my usual ways. Because of that I stopped doing the process once the assignment was complete. A few days after the assignment I decided to go back into my journal. I did this to see whether there were any themes. Some of the things I wrote down include “I played Tennis with my dad in the morning. We hadn’t played in a while… My brother lives in North Carolina. Today he said he’s thinking about coming to Philadelphia for Thanksgiving...I’m grateful that I can sit down and watch a soccer game with my dad...My mom was taking a walk outside. On the phone she chuckled while telling me to go pick up the laundry from the dryer. I’m glad I made sure that it was my family’s laundry this time.” The theme that I noticed is family. I noticed that my family was in over half of my journal. This made me realise a couple of things. It made me realise that my family is a big part of my life. It made me realise how much I have been taking them for granted. It made me so grateful to be a part of my family, and that makes me feel good. That is how the three good things process had a positive impact on my life.
