The small exercise that's a powerful mood booster
Counting our blessings is an age-old piece of advice –
but it turns out that writing lists of good things that
happen to us actually does help improve our mood.
Of all the interventions brought to us by psychological
research, I think this is probably my favourite. It's both
simple and well-evidenced. And as such, it has become
well-known.
There are various names for it – three good things, three
blessings or a gratitude list. There are variations too in
the exact instructions given, but essentially the exercise
involves spending a few moments in the evening
reflecting on your day, then writing down three things
that went well or that you enjoyed. The final element is
to think about why these things felt positive to you. You
can choose anything, however small and seemingly
inconsequential. Perhaps you bumped into a friend you
hadn’t seen for a while? Perhaps you and a colleague
laughed about something together. Perhaps you
enjoyed your walk home from the station in lovely early
evening light.
Alternatively, you could include something much more
significant, perhaps even life-changing. Like passing an
important exam, or getting a promotion, or hearing that
a relative is going to have a baby.
Counting your blessings is of course a very old idea, and
exercises of this kind had been used clinically for some
time. The initial research investigating whether any of us
might use this method in everyday life to improve our
wellbeing was published in 2005 by Martin Seligman
and Chris Peterson, two major figures in the field of
positive psychology.
The study involved 577 people who were randomly
assigned to different groups. As a placebo, one group
had to write every evening about their early memories
from childhood. Other groups were given different
interventions to try out. In the arm of the trial that
interests us, people were asked to list three things that
had gone well that day and what caused them to go well.
Over the next few months, the volunteers in all the
groups were given scales to measure their happiness.
The results were impressive. Notably, within a month,
the people who were assigned the three good things
task began to show improvements in their happiness
levels as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms –
with the positive effects lasting for the six months of the
study.
Meanwhile those in the placebo group saw a brief spike
in happiness in the first week, but their mood soon
returned to baseline, and there was no change at the six
month follow up.
One reason that the three good things strategy can work
is because it begins to counter the hard-wired tendency
we have as humans to register and remember the
negative rather than the positive. There's a strong
evolutionary reason why we think this way: it's vital for
our survival. So, we hardly notice if a small cat is
following us up the street, but if it was a lion we certainly
would. Our brains are primed for danger in order to
keep us safe. Which is fine, except that in a world of war
and suffering, hatred and division – all of which we can instantly access on our phones – this negativity bias can
overwhelm us.
An important element of the three good things exercise
is that it helps us to focus on the positive in a concrete
way. And although I've been suggesting it's an end-ofthe-day exercise, its real strength lies in the fact that the
impact soon begins to spread through the day. You find
yourself searching out good things to add to your list
from the moment you get up. (Whenever I get my
favourite seat at the front of the top deck of the bus I
think to myself, that's one for my list. How lucky!) And
before you know it you are training yourself not only to
look out for threats, but for good things too.
