​Daily Naikan - ideas to add to our daily Gratitude Journal

This is the simplest method of Naikan reflection and requires 20-30 minutes before bedtime. Sitting in a quiet place, without distraction, write down the answer to the three questions in relation to the day’s events. 

What did you receive from others today? 
What did you give to others today? 
What troubles and difficulties did you cause others today? 

It is important to be specific rather than general. For example, rather than state that you received food today, write down the actual food that you received and ate today. Don’t leave items off your list because they seem “trivial” or you receive them everyday; it is quite important to notice and list just such items.
