What Does Science Say About Gratitude?
When your body feels gratitude, it signals your parasympathetic nervous system to initiate a state of “rest and digest”. The parasympathetic nervous system is a system of nerves directly linked to your stomach, heart, brain, lungs, bladder, liver, pancreas, and intestines. This explains why gratitude can have such diverse and extraordinary effects throughout your whole body.
How Do I Practice Gratitude?
Eventually, this mindset will become second nature, like muscle memory, but until then it may take some intentionality. Calling a loved one to express why you are thankful for them, journaling things you were grateful for that day, and becoming more mindful of little moments that bring you joy are all ways to help you achieve the transformative benefits of gratitude.
