Three Clouds Notice life's good moments by writing a delightful three good things in a gratitude journal and note the good things that are all too often forgotten. Three Clouds is based on the gratitude journal from Positive Psychotherapy. By writing three good things each day the aim is to reduce worry, improve self-esteem, help cope with stress, and more. Thought Diary Look at stressful situations in a healthy, balanced way. Prevent rumination by using the thought record to challenge automatic thinking and gain a new understanding of stressful situations. The thought dairy (or thought record) is a tool used in CBT to reframe thinking.
