Why Gratitude?
The Science of Gratitude
How does gratitude change the brain?
A recent study at UC Berkeley showed that gratitude has a profound effect on a person and their outlook on life.
When the brain feels gratitude, the parts of the brain that are activated include the ventral and dorsal medial pre-frontal cortex. These areas are involved in feelings of reward (the reward when stress is removed), morality, interpersonal bonding and positive social interactions, and the ability to understand what other people are thinking or feeling.
Gratitude also has the capacity to increase important neurochemicals. When thinking shifts from negative to positive, there is a surging of feel-good chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. These all contribute to the feelings of closeness, connection and happiness that come with gratitude.
Not only are people who focus on positive things happier, but they are also healthier (both mentally and physically)
Simply put, happy thoughts equals a happy life.
