Three Good Things, Three New Things

I often talk with people about practices that help us pause, breathe, and come back to what’s real.

The Three Good Things practice is one of those small, steady ways to ground ourselves in what is real for us.  At the end of each day, name three things that went well and why.  Over time, this small act rewires our brains toward gratitude and balance. Here’s a great article from Duke Health that explains the practice and its benefits.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how “three good things” gratitude practice leads to other “threes.” When we practice awareness, new patterns appear — In sacred geometry, the number three represents harmony and creation — the point where one becomes two and two becomes something new. The Flower of Life is one example of this pattern — overlapping circles that expand infinitely, forming the blueprint of life itself.

This week, my three good things became three new things — simple lessons that reminded me how awareness can reshape my everyday:

I moved my writing pad. For years it sat on the left side of my desk, and I’d awkwardly reach across to write during online meetings. It never occurred to me to move it. This week, I slid it to the right side — and suddenly, it felt natural and easy. A small shift that made me feel grateful and more present in my space.

I changed how I make my smoothie. Water first, then powder, then veggies. Simple. But it blended smoother, faster, and with less frustration. Awareness in action — the little things can make life flow more easily.

I remembered that I can do hard things. I’ve learned this lesson before, and sometimes I forget it. But this week reminded me again: courage isn’t about ease — it’s about remembering what’s already within me, within us.

When we practice gratitude, we start to see connections.  We naturally begin learning, adjusting, remembering — forming patterns much like the spirals of the Fibonacci Sequence. We become aware of the circles, triangles, spirals — all moving outward and returning again in our own life.

Gratitude is sacred geometry for the heart. It’s the art of noticing — and allowing small things to expand into something larger, steadier, more whole.

The Root to Rise Take

At its core, this practice is about alignment. Three Good Things brings awareness to gratitude; sacred geometry brings form to that awareness. Both remind us that harmony isn’t found in perfection — it’s created through presence.

When we notice the small shifts — a pen moved, a pattern changed, a truth remembered — we participate in the quiet work of realignment. Like roots finding water or branches reaching toward light, we grow by adjusting to what is.

The power of three — gratitude, awareness, and renewal — invites us to rise a little steadier, a little clearer, each day.

Tuning in by noticing three good things can remind us that growth often happens in layers, in rhythm, in relationship.  What are you noticing today?

With so much love and light for you!  Peace, Kell

The circles, triangles and spirals overlap to become the patterns of our life.
