When we repeat something over and over the neurological pathway becomes stronger. Think of gratitude ~ practicing gratitude will create stronger pathways in our brain.
Mindset ~ what we think becomes what we say and eventually what we do.
Spiritually speaking ~ cognitive dissonance; habitual versus value-based
How can this benefit you?
- Re-shaping our brains ~ greater sense of contentment versus happy / sad (emotions ~ temporary)
- Dr. Emmons ~ memory and learning are linked ~ keep gratitudes fresh & new
- Importance of writing / posting gratitude; needs to be more than that ~ unexpected kindnesses
