Deep dives

The Power of Gratitude

Practicing gratitude can change the molecular structure of the brain by releasing dopamine and serotonin, enhancing mood and happiness. Writing down three things to be grateful for each day can improve optimism and quality of life. Gratitude also improves brain function, decision-making skills, and productivity by activating the prefrontal cortex. It can even help with sleep and self-esteem. Incorporating gratitude into daily routines, such as keeping a gratitude journal or expressing thanks, can rewire the brain for long-lasting effects.
