What does my psychologist want me to gain from writing down everything I like?

[Baileybasil]

I just had my first session with a new psychologist, she left me with a note on things to work on, one of them being writing down everything I like.

My question is, what does she want me to gain from writing this down? I’m not sure what to do afterwards?

I can’t see my psychologist until may

Things i like doing give me hope through the tough times. Knowing what those things are is important because it gives you something to hang onto. It's a bit like going through a tunnel. If you know there is an exit, you feel better than if it was a dead end, like a cave.
