Healthy Tips: Neurons on Joy: How Gratitude Rewires Your Brain

Spread the love

You can’t see gratitude on a brain scan—unless you’re looking at the part glowing like it just won a free vacation.

Healthy tip: Gratitude activates your brain’s reward system, boosting dopamine and serotonin—your natural happy chemicals. Translation? More smiles, fewer funks. Practicing gratitude literally rewires your brain for positivity. Each morning, take 60 seconds to mentally list three people you’re grateful for. Bonus: tell one of them. You’ll feel great, and so will they.

Can gratitude help you sleep better? You bet your comfy pillow it can. Tomorrow’s post dives into nighttime thanks and sweet dreams.
