A success list is a simple way to create more fun,
pleasure and enjoyment in your life.  

First get a small pocket notebook. Then get into the 
habit of writing down in this notebook five or more 
successes that you have each day. A success is 
anything that makes you feel good about yourself 
when it happens. These successes can be things 
you do or things that happen to you. The key is that
you felt good about yourself when each success 
happened. 

Examples: 

A success could be something as simple as getting 
to work on time despite the traffic. It could be someone 
smiling at you. A success might be getting positive 
feedback on something you’ve done. A success could 
be doing a task you’ve been putting off. A success could 
be meeting with an interesting person who inspires you. 
A success might be taking one small action step toward 
an important goal. 

A success does not have to be earth shattering; however 
it does have to be something that makes you feel good 
about yourself when it happened. 

When you’ve used a success list for three weeks or more; 
you will have written down over one hundred successes
you’ve had in this time. 

Imagine how good you would feel reading a list like this. 

Think of a success list as being a bit like a photograph 
album filled with photos of some of the happiest moments 
in your life. Every time you look at the photos, those happy 
moments and feelings come back. 

Action Exercise: 

Get yourself a pocket notebook today. Start writing at least 
five successes you have each day in this notebook. 

Notice how you feel after doing this for a week or two 

At Resilient Minds we help our clients to develop high resilience
so they can perform at high levels on the really important
things in both their work and personal lives. 

Have a great week.
