Sit
comfortably with your notebook and pen.
Positive:
List three experiences you have had that were interesting, satisfying,
illuminating or uplifting. Choose one of the experiences and write about it for
seven minutes, concentrating on your feelings and thoughts.
Negative:
List three experiences you have had that upset, angered or disturbed you in
some way. Choose one of the experiences and write about it for seven minutes,
concentrating on your feelings and thoughts.
Here’s an
example from Jim Johnston
I was dizzy by the time I found the room where they
did blood tests. Outside, it was a waiting area full of people. I couldn’t sit
down, paced up and down. Frightened of a little jab, I sneered at myself.
“You’re not a child of ten. You’re supposed to be a man of 32.”
“Something wrong?” The nurse was a slight little thing
with kind eyes.
I couldn’t help myself: “it’s the blood, I can’t bear
the sight of it.”
“No problem,
“she smiled. “We’ll make sure you don’t see any. You’d be surprised how many we
get inhere like that, my little love.”
Little love! I’m over six feet. She barely reached my
elbow. We both laughed and suddenly I was half crying, saying. She sat me down
with a paper cup of tea. I’ve never felt such a fool in my life!
