If you were to ask me what is the one habit or exercise that can ultimately change your life, I would tell you it’s a gratitude practice. So many people are missing out on the benefits of gratitude, which may be greater than many people realize. There are so many benefits of having a daily gratitude practice for your overall health, but one of the most important impacts is what it does to our brains! 

In this episode I share about the psychological, physical and social benefits of gratitude and how it literally rewires your brain in each of these areas. I nerd out just a little on the brain science behind it all!!  

Here are just a few nuggets I share in this episode about what gratitude does to the brain: 

  1. Gratitude wires and fires new neural connections to the bliss center.
  2. Gratitude enhances dopamine and serotonin- the neurotransmitters responsible for happiness.
  3. Gratitude reduces fear and anxiety by regulating the stress hormone.
  4. Gratitude fosters cognitive restructuring by evoking positive thinking.

Want to learn how to start this gratitude practice and learn more about the benefits of this practice? Take a listen to this episode and get all the tools you need to start now!
