Night-time can sometimes be the worst time for some, whether you are one of those who ruminates about certain concerns and worries, or you are lonely, or maybe you find it difficult to sleep – or maybe all three!

One thing that I urge my clients to do at the end of each day is to write down three good things about the day – and these can be quite simple, ordinary things such as a smile from a neighbour, to something a little bit more exciting such as booking a holiday. It’s not a difficult thing to do, and done regularly it can have a powerful effect on your happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes people say to me that they can’t stop negative thoughts, but by actively thinking about and writing down the positive stuff on a regular basis quite literally turns that negative radar round to the positive. The important thing here is not to battle against negative thoughts, but to gradually replace them with positive ones.

Once you get into the habit of this, it then becomes automatic, and you also feel more in control, having that knowledge that you CAN control your thoughts is incredibly liberating.

So remember, three good things ….

Night, night
