This exercise involves identifying, on a daily basis, for a period of 7 days, three “mildly negative” events or outcomes that lead, later, to at least one (and as many as 3) positive consequences. This is a peer-graded assignment. Assignment less Your task in this exercise is to recall and write, for each day for 7 days, about 3 things that started out as mildly negative events that later turned out positive. (Detailed instructions can be found in Week 5, Video 12). Then, on the 8th day, you will answer three questions in your report: Overall, how easy or difficult was this exercise for you? Why? How much more (or less) confident do you now feel that no event or outcome is “purely” positive or negative? Why (or why not)? Typically, those who do this exercise can more spontaneously see the positive consequences triggered by negative events. Did this happen to you? (Please elaborate.)

(E.g., You could say, “I didn't get a good idea of how easy this exercise was for you, so I deducted 2 points.”) How much more (or less) confident do you now feel that no event or outcome is “purely” positive or negative? Why (or why not)? (E.g., you could say, “I didn't see a response to this question, so I deducted 3 points.”) Typically, those who do this exercise can more spontaneously see the positive consequences triggered by negative events. Did this happen to you? (E.g., you could say, “You failed to respond to this question, so I deducted 2 points.”)
