How Can Gratitude Rewire your Brain?
'Improved mental health. If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, gratitude might be the last thing on your mind. However, as it turns out, gratitude could be a key component of helping with your mental health. One study showed participants who wrote gratitude letters regularly displayed significantly better mental health than those who didn’t. In fact, brain scans suggest gratitude might even have the power to rewire our brains for the better.
Improved physical health. Better sleep and immunity? Gratitude has been shown to help with both, and may even be linked to reduced pain and improved cardiovascular health as well.'

Resilience. Gratitude has the effect of helping us to refocus on positive emotions. It guides us to take an optimistic, solution-oriented approach to the challenges that we encounter in life. Both of which are hugely important to building resilience. Resilience, in turn, improves our overall quality of life by enabling us to bounce back from the hardships we face.'

Gratitude helps train your brain to notice and appreciate the little things in life and, in doing so, shifts your life experience tremendously.
