Gratitude Prompt: Name Three Small Joys You Noticed Today

Happiness doesn’t always come from big moments. Most times, it hides in the small things we rush past.

This simple gratitude prompt helps you slow down and notice the little joys that quietly make your day better.

i. How to do it :

1. Pause for one minute and take a deep breath.
2. Think back over your day so far.
3. Write down three small joys you noticed.
   These could be a warm drink, a kind word, fresh air, a smile, or a quiet moment.
4. For each one, add one short sentence about how it made you feel.

ii. Why it works :
Your brain often focuses on problems. Gratitude gently trains it to notice what’s going well. Over time, this simple habit helps you feel calmer, lighter, and more content.

iii. Quick tip :
If writing feels hard, just say your three joys out loud. That still counts.

Small joys matter more than we think. When you notice them, happiness feels closer and more real.
