"You have to fall in love with the process to become great"-Unknown
We will now start to take a turn in things and focus on a very important topic in today's world, Positive psychology. In the three good things project, I will be recording three things I am grateful for each day. I personally think it has helped me and so has these readings about the positive psychology: What is Positive Pyschology & Why Is it Important? (Positive Psychology Program), Greater Good in Action: Science-Based Practices for a Meaningful Life (UC Berkeley's Project Home Page), and Three Good Things (Greater Good in Action). Here are the three things I was grateful for the past seven days. Enjoy!
Journal I 10/30 1.ALP Class I am grateful for my ALP class for the reason being of my teacher professor Mangini because he taught us about how positive psychology can help us in ways to make our life happier. It makes me feel grateful to know that there are people out there wanting to make lives better on a day to day basis. 2. Dinner I was grateful for my mom asking us what we want for to do for dinner that night, it shows she has our interests in mind. She is cooking dinner for me and my two brothers after a rough day at work. It makes me feel loved for that fact of what my mom will do for us. 3.Brothers I am so grateful for being so close to my brothers, we always talk about whats going on in the sports world. We debate and have great conversations it makes me feel less lonely and its great we can connect through something we all have a passion for. Journal II 10/31 1. David I love having a caring brother he is always there for me no matter what. He is someone I can talk my problems out with and I do the same for him. We also talked about our podcast and what we can do with it. All makes me feel motivated and that someone genuinely cares about me. 2. Alyssa I am so grateful for my girlfriend, although she is away at college she always finds the time to talk to me over the phone, we have some really great conversations about our future. It makes me feel secure, loved and very appreciated. I am so glad to have her in my life. 3.Father I am grateful for my dad,we discussed about getting sushi in the future and when my doctors appointment is for my knee. I look forward to getting sushi with him. It shows that he cares about me even though he is busy a lot. Journal III 11/1 1. Kaden’s Birthday I am grateful for being able to go out to dinner and celebrate my step brother's birthday. We went to red lobster and the biscuits were phenomenal. He turned 6 and having him in my life is showing me how important it is to raise a child in today's world. 2. David pt II David and I talked out our problems and it really relieved me so much over the stuff I have been stressing we both go through a lot so its good we are there for each other. I really enjoy having a brother like him. 3. Nick Nick is my little brother and we played video games together. It took things off my mind and we had a great time bonding while playing some 2k. It makes me feel relaxed and grateful for having a brother to have a great time with. Journal IV 11/2 1.Math I was grateful for my math teacher giving us a study guide for and reviewing it in class to prepare for our test monday. It really helped me become more knowledgeable of our material. 2. Work I deliver pizzas for a place called cimmeras, even though it rained people were giving generous tips I ended up making the most I ever have. I made $138 in 5 hours, I was very grateful for it and it taught me to be more giving and generous. 3. Mom My mom stayed up till 9:30pm after a long day of work to talk to me about how my night went and we had a great conversation. I felt as if she was proud of me because of how well my night went at work which makes me feel great about myself. Journal V 11/3 1. Nick Me and nick spent the whole day together, we woke up at 9 and played some 2K because there was a daily event we both agreed to play. Then we went to the sixers game at 1, but we got chickfila before and it was really good. Then we went home and around 7 we ate wings and watched south park. I haven't spent the whole day with him in a while and I had the greatest time. We laughed all day and it made me so grateful to have a brother like him. 2. Joel Embiid So we went to the sixers game but the only reason it was so good, was because of Joel Embiid. He dropped 39 points and 32 of them in the first half. He had beef with the other center so that made it very fun. But I am grateful for him to make my day much more eventful. 3. Fire So that night my friends and I had a fire. We drank some beer and smoked a little around the fire. We joked around had a lot of good laughs, and reminesed the times we had down at senior week. That pretty much capped off the great weekend I had. It made feel hope for my days to be better, as in to get more interesting. Journal VI 11/4 1.David David and I spent the whole morning playing some 2K, we were winning so much so that made it fun. But no matter what I appreciate the fact that we are playing together, I don't really care what happens in the game. It makes me feel more happy to spend time with him. 2.Mom My mom went food shopping and we ended up all getting 5 guys. Now we have more food to eat but My brothers, Mom, and I all sat down and had a great meal together. I missed that it makes me feel like a family again even though of all the stuff that has happened. 3.Dad My Dad and I talked on the phone for a good amount. We talked about getting sushi, the sixers, eagles, and what he was doing. I appreciated him going out of his way to talk to me while he was out and about food shopping for home. Journal VII 11/5 1.Mom Mom made chicken cutlets today and those are my favorite, but I appreciate her doing this because she didnt get done work till 6 and still made dinner. My mom is a warrior for waking up at 5 am and not getting done work till 6 and still have time to do these things for us.I am so grateful for that women. 2. DCCC So after class I had to wait for david to get done his classes. So I went up to the stem center and jumped on the computer to bang these journals out on the computer. I also finished up my work for another class. It makes me feel lucky to even be able to attend a college and get access to all these wonderful things. 3.David I am grateful for David driving me to school today. This helps me save money for gas but also spending time with him and getting to talk about all these amazing topics with him. It really makes me feel more confident within myself expressing my opinions.
