A Sick-Child Day Turned Into Small Joys
- Anna recounts a day when her child felt sick and she did the 'bug maths' of worrying it would spread and ruin plans.
- She instead noticed small moments: baking, strung beads, peeling oranges and took photos to remember the good parts.
Choose To Notice Small Good Moments
- Choose to look for small good moments during a rough day to reduce fear and dread about it.
- Document or notice tiny positives so you can remember the day wasn't entirely bad and feel less anxious about future days.
No Day Is Entirely Bad
- No day is entirely bad, even the darkest periods contain moments of joy or comfort.
- Recognising these moments changes how you anticipate and experience future difficult days.
