But if we want to elevate our lives, our thoughts matter just as much. The lens we look through can either increase our optimism resulting in happier moments regardless of circumstances, OR it can darken our days and cloud our judgement.

Studies and research support that gratitude physically changes your brain, dramatically reduces depression and anxiety, and increases willpower as hope within grows.

Now if all of the above is possible, sign me up!

Let's rewire the brain with gratitude.

Science has discovered by expressing genuine gratitude, it can physically change your brain.

A study from Indian University was done with 43 people who suffered from anxiety or depression. The researchers divided them into two groups. Half were asked to write letters of gratitude to people in their lives for 20 minutes (total of 1 hour). The other group just attended the counseling with no gratitude exercise.

After the study was completed, those who performed the gratitude exercise not only felt more gratefulness two weeks after compared to the control group, but months following showing gratitude-related brain activity in their scans.

If you want a dramatic, long-lasting shift in your health, it's time to flex your gratitude muscle.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Flex your gratitude muscle! See the good. Speak the good. Write the good.

Get out your JOY Jar! Decorate it for the season. You could use ornaments. Place them in a bowl. Write on the ornaments what you are grateful for and celebrate the blessings, the joy!

You see it. You speak it. You write it. You become it!

"It's not happy people who are thankful. It's thankful people who are happy."
