Three Good Things: Gratitude Journal Gift Set

1. Each night, set the candle on a heat-proof plate, light it and open the journal at the next blank page.
2. Write three things that went well today, small ones included, and for each one a line on why it happened.
3. Rest the heart on the closed journal and put the candle out before you sleep. On Sunday, read the week back.

• A gratitude journal, 21 by 15 cm, with 120 undated gilt-edged pages. The ivory fabric cover carries a gold sun and 'My days are full of sun'.
• A soy wax candle with ylang-ylang and patchouli essential oils in an unlabelled amber glass jar with an aluminium lid, about 40 hours.
• A selenite heart from Morocco, about 6 cm across, milky white and soft to the touch.

The pieces arrive together in one parcel. They are not gift-wrapped. Selenite dissolves in water, so keep the heart dry and dust it with a soft cloth.

The exercise has authors and a date. Martin Seligman, Tracy Steen, Nansook Park and Christopher Peterson described 'three good things' in American Psychologist in 2005: three lines a night, every night for a week.
