Rewire your Brain

Just five minutes daily is all it takes to rewire your brain and unleash everything great in your life – and it starts with Gratitude! By practicing awareness of the positive things in life, we fight off the brain’s natural tendency to scan for and spot the negatives. As a result, we train our brains to be more positive and thus happier.  This is according to http://getgratitude.co which has been featured on

WRITE 5 GOOD THINGS

When you write about a happy event, your brain relives that good feeling. And when you focus repeatedly on something that feels good, your brain rewires itself to do that more effortlessly in the future.

WRITE DAILY FOR 3 WEEKS

It takes about three weeks to start a new habit. When a behaviour is repeated enough, the synaptic pathways in our brains tied to that behaviour get used to being accessed. As a result, it becomes easier for impulses to travel along those pathways, and the behaviour seems “natural.”  Recording your gratitude for 21 days straight forms a new habit.

PROVEN BENEFITS OF GRATITUDE

INCREASED HAPPINESS

A daily gratitude journal can increase your long-term well-being by more than 10 percent.That’s the same impact as doubling your income!

IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS

Gratitude makes us nicer, more trusting, more social, and more appreciative. As a result, it helps us make more friends, deepen our existing relationships, and improve our marriage.

IMPROVES OUR HEALTH

Daily gratitude improves sleep, increases your energy levels, reduces stress, and can decrease blood pressure. There is even reason to believe gratitude can extend your lifespan by a few months or even years.

BOOST YOUR CAREER

Gratitude helps you network, increases your decision making capabilities, increases your productivity, and helps you get mentors and proteges.

STRENGTHENS EMOTIONS

Gratitude reduces envious feelings, creates happier memories, and helps us bounce back from stress.

MAKES US HOT!

Gratitude “recruits” other positive emotions and forgiveness comes easier. Also,  negative emotions—like anger, jealousy, greed, and fear—fade. All this shows in your appearance.
