Noticing what works

When things feel difficult, it is easy to focus on problems. Yet there are usually things that are working: supportive friends, helpful habits, small successes.

Take time to list what is going well. Notice the strengths and resources you already have.

Seeing what is already working builds confidence and provides a foundation for change. It reminds you that you are not starting from zero.

List what is working

When life feels hard, it is easy to focus on everything that is going wrong. The problems take center stage, and what is going right fades into the background.

Take ten minutes to list everything that is working in your life right now: relationships, habits, resources, skills, small comforts. Aim for at least ten items, even if some seem small.

Read the list and notice how it feels. Seeing what is already working can bring perspective, gratitude, and a solid foundation for addressing what needs to change.

Keep at the hidden work. The visible hour will know what to do with you.
