Practicing gratitude leads to positive changes in the brain by triggering the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which enhance mood and well-being. This process activates the brain's reward systems, fostering feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. Over time, gratitude strengthens neural pathways associated with emotional regulation and empathy, contributing to cognitive enhancement. Consequently, incorporating gratitude into daily routines can lead to improved mental sharpness, creativity, and stress resilience.
