When walking out of Tynecastle last Saturday evening, there were was the odd moan and complaint following the tight 1-0 win against Falkirk, but come Sunday evening the result looked far better.
The most important thing was bouncing back from the defeat at Ibrox and getting three points, which we did.
The next thing head coach Derek McInnes would have wanted would have been a clean sheet - job done, thanks in part to some wasteful finishing from Falkirk striker Barney Stewart.
Of course, there were some aspects about the performance to criticise, but who cares?
Hearts are top of the league with just 10 games to go. We are about to enter the final quarter of the campaign, and Hearts are on the cusp of making history.
Publicly, McInnes will say there's no pressure on us - and he's quite right to - but internally, I imagine the message to the players may be slightly different.
While we have some good fortune in the hype surrounding the troubles of the Old Firm, we are quietly getting on with our business in our efforts to stay on top for as long as possible.
I believe McInnes will be telling the players and staff that we have 10 cup finals left and the only the next game is what we should be focusing on.
We have worked so hard to get into this position and it's not by fluke - it's down to how we have equipped ourselves each week.
It comes easy to nit-pick about selections, tactics or substitutes considering we are Jambos - we already have been champions at that in Scotland for years – but given the position we find ourselves in, we just need to back the team for the next few months.
McInnes and the team have earned supporters' trust to handle the remaining fixtures and do what is required.
Aberdeen at home on Saturday is a different kind of psychological test as the Dons' record at Tynecastle is abysmal.
They have failed to win in their past 15 attempts, with their most recent victory coming in May 2017. Hearts fans would expect to win this one even if we were bottom of the table.
It's a game in which we would want to win to put pressure on the Old Firm, who play each other on Sunday, but it's not win or bust as some pundits would have you believe.
The run-in will see lots of unexpected results - we just need to take it one game at a time.
Another 1-0 win would do for me but I've got a feeling that a big performance from some individuals is coming and I think we might be able to win this game a little bit more comfortably.
