Doing Things Right

September 15, 2017 By Nancy Casey

From the instant we open our eyes in the morning to the moment we close them at night, we do a zillion things right.  When we do things right, life goes on smoothly and we don’t have to pay attention.

It’s when we make a mistake that we notice.

Today write about things that you have done right.

Begin by making a list of 10-20 things in your environment.  Then choose one and write down why it represents something that you have done right.  Then choose another and do the same thing.  And another, and another.

It’s especially fun to choose items from your list that could easily be construed as something you had done wrong.

Give your work a title and write the date on it.

Here is a longer version of these directions.

News and Events

Nancy blogs weekly for the Latah Recovery Community Center, sharing writing ideas that support self-awareness and self-esteem.


Looking for an art project that is secretly full of math? Or a math project that results in interesting art? Equilateral Triangle is an Inquiry Pack full of project ideas that will keep you thinking for a long time.


Writing classes and workshops

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
