Practicing gratitude can rewire the brain for positivity from "summary" of Rewire Your Brain by John B. Arden
Practicing gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming your brain and your life. When you actively focus on the things you are grateful for, you are essentially rewiring your brain to focus on positivity. This shift in attention has a profound effect on your brain's neural pathways, strengthening those associated with positive thinking and weakening those associated with negative thinking. By consciously acknowledging and appreciating the good things in your life, you are training your brain to seek out and savor positive experiences. This process creates a feedback loop that reinforces positive thinking patterns, making it easier for you to find joy and contentment in your everyday life. As you continue to practice gratitude, your brain becomes more efficient at recognizing and processing positive stimuli, making it easier for you to maintain a positive outlook even in challenging situations.
