I revised this Research project again and I think this one is the best one that I have written. Here is my third and final reedit to my intro for my research project
Everyone wants to have a positive life, everyone wants to have a good sense of well being in order to maintain a positive view on their life. This is what Dr. Martin Seligman the father of positive psychology did he created this experiment called the 'Three Good Things" to help see that by doing this experiment if people would see a more positive view on their life and make them have gratitude for what they have. For me personally this experiment did work like I thought it would. I feel if someone wants to make their life more positive they should do it by writing three good things that happened to them for that day. The "Three Good Things" is where you write three good things that has happened to you for that day for a week or more. The point of doing this is to make them feel more positive or feel more gratitude for what they have. The question that is to be answered after this experiment is "Can the Three Good Things gratitude process have a positive impact on my well-being?". Well in my experience the three good things did have a positive impact on my well being because I felt more happy after doing this experiment. The first time I did this I didn't feel that it worked but I feel like I didn't really do the exercise like I should have, that's why I said in my first draft that it didn't work. What I did realize after this was even the little things make a big difference too because the little things are just as important as the big things are. Here is the link to read my final and finished product of my research project called " Making life better, does it work?"

Reedited Intro for Research Project
Everyone wants to have a positive life, everyone wants to have a good sense of well being in order to maintain a positive view on their life.This is what Dr. Martin Seligman the father of positive psychology did he created this experiment called the 'Three Good Things" to help see that by doing this experiment if people would see a more positive view on their life and make them have gratitude for what they have. For me personally this experiment didn't work like I thought it would. I feel if someone wants to make their life more positive they would do something better than write three good things that happened to them for that day.The "Three Good Things" is where you write three good things that has happened to you for that day for a week or more to see if they feel more positive or feel more gratitude for what they have. The question that is to be answered after this experiment is "Can the Three Good Things gratitude process have a positive impact on my well-being?". Well in my experience the three good things did not have a positive impact on my well being because I don't have a lot of time write three good things everyday because I have lots to do and to me it seems like another chore for me which makes it boring and not interesting to want to do. Blog Prompt: Write about your research project. Consider posting sections of the project, updates on research, annotating sources, questions you are struggling/succeeding in answering, comparisons to other research writing you have completed, impact on your life, overall reflections, writing goals, intrinsic goals, etc
Intro to Research Project: Everyone wants to have a positive life, everyone wants to have a good sense of well being in order to maintain a positive view on life. This is what Dr. Martin Seligman the father of positive psychology did he created this experiment called the 'Three Good Things" to help people see a more positive view on their life and make them have gratitude for what they have. I think this experiment isn't gonna work because to me it takes a lot to get someone to make their life more positive and stick with it but I shall se for myself because what you have to do for the "Three Good Things" where you write three good things that has happened to you for that day for a week to see if they see anymore positive or feel more gratitude for what they have. The question that is to be answered after this experiment is over is "Can the Three Good Things gratitude process have a positive impact on my well-being?". Well in my experience the three good things did not have a positive impact on my well being because I don't have a lot of time write three good things everyday because it seems like another chore for me to do and it makes it boring and not interesting to do. Blog #10 will be a seven day (10/30-11/05) journal entry about three good things that happened to me. I think this is a good idea because it gives you the chance to think about the positive in your life rather than the negative. Something I have learned is something good always comes out of something bad. It might not be big but its something to be happy about. Here are some links to help us and you better understand positive psychology and the reason behind the three good things experiment What is Positive Pyschology & Why Is it Important?
