Research shows gratitude alters how you see the world and even yourself.

Scientists conducted a study that measured the brain activity when participants were either feeling gratitude and thinking about gratitude. What they found was “that gratitude causes synchronized activation in multiple brain regions and lights up parts of the brain’s reward pathways and the hypothalamus.”

Translation? Gratitude literally rewires your brain function on a chemical level, while promoting feelings of self-worth and compassion for others.

Right now, just for a moment… allow yourself to pause and bring into mind the image of someone or something that brings a feeling of gratitude…
(PAUSE: yes, really do it right now)

Notice how your body immediately softens.

When we focus our attention on people and experiences that inspire a feeling of gratitude, we automatically activate the release of those feel-good hormones. A grateful biochemistry produces greater physical energy, better health and more resilience. When we expand our inner spaciousness, we have a greater capacity for compassion and love.

It’s like how the taste of a tablespoon of salt in a lake has little negative influence while a tablespoon of salt in a cup of water makes it undrinkable. The impact of our daily irritations is lessened when they fall into a reservoir of calm.
