EFFECTS OF GRATITUDE…Winnegrad

                              

Harvard researchers discovered that writing three simple sentences of GRATITUDE a day can reshape your brain physically. In 21 days, feelings of GRATITUDE every day, changes your neural wirings. Two groups of people were asked to write for 10 minutes a day. One group wrote about random things, what they ate, how their day went. The other group wrote down three things they were GRATEFUL for, every single day.

After three weeks the scientists scanned the brains of the two groups. The GRATITUDE group showed clear changes. Their neural pathways had literally rewired to search for good things automatically. Their minds started to notice joy, the same way a magnet attracts metal. This is absolute biology. Their brains began releasing more dopamine and serotonin, the same chemicals linked to happiness and calm. Their stress dropped and their optimism grew. Even their sleep had improvement.

Focusing on the good in life confirms how important it is to value the greatness of the good. This shows you a way to teach your brain to find brightness even when things feel dark and gloomy. The brain follows what you focus on. Writing three GRATEFULS a day is like a mental exercise. You are strengthening the pathways that help you feel joy, peace and balance. The brain is rewiring itself based on what you repeat. GRATEFUL is not just a feeling. It’s a habit that physically changes the mind.

SO IF YOU WANT TO FEEL HAPPIER, STOP CHASING WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE. START NOTICING WHAT IS ALREADY WITH YOU. WRITE IT DOWN.. SPEAK IT OUT LOUD. REMEMBER THAT LIFE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN YOU MORE THAN IT HAS TAKEN.

TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, STAY HEALTHY. HAVE FAITH. ALWAYS THANK YOU.
