What’s been good?
This is how I start every session. In the first session I hear hmmm...not much! Or an awkward smile, a blank look, or just a long uncomfortable silence. By the time we get to our sixth session my clients manage to come up with a long list of small positive experiences that they have had throughout their day, one’s they would have previously barely noticed.
Why is is that? It is because we have a tendency to focus on the negative. We go through the day without noticing a single positive experience. Taking just a few extra seconds a day to stay with a positive experience; having a nice cup of coffee, a positive interaction with someone you love, or just taking comfort in a single breath. It’s also a way to treat yourself like you matter. This practice brings you into the present moment, and reduces rumination. It teaches you to have more control over your attention, or what I call kind attention, so you can keep it focused on what’s good for you and pull it away from what’s bad. Feeling better helps you to act better, which help the world treat you better. ’s been good?
