This week, during the HART Certification, I had a great time delivering training to the emergency services personnel from Rio Tinto. Among the many skills in the HART, one deceptively simple but powerful tool stood out: Three Good Things. When your role constantly exposes you to trauma, critical incidents and chaos, the brain can start to bias towards threat. Over time, that can reshape how you experience the world. Three Good Things is a mental skill that helps to counterbalance this by engaging the prefrontal cortex and shifting attention away from the limbic system’s negativity bias. This isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s neuroplasticity in action. Just like learning a technical skill strengthens neural pathways, consistently reflecting on three positive events each day builds mental strength, emotional regulation and gratitude. What might this look like on the ground? 
• A paramedic reflecting on a moment of connection with a patient 
• A firefighter acknowledging how the team worked under pressure 
• A mine site ESO appreciating a quiet moment after a tough job—or even a shared laugh They help protect wellbeing, prevent burnout and enhance team cohesion. How do your teams reflect on the positives, even after high-pressure events? 
What’s one good thing from today that’s worth noticing?
