Our brains have an in-built negativity bias: designed not to make us happy, but to help us survive. But by focusing on what's wrong, and keeping us safe, it can lead us to feeling stressed, worried, fearful, sad... even though there are lots of positive things going on in our lives. In effect, the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones.

What is gratitude?

"Gratitude is not just a social construct; it's a real neurobiological phenomenon that is powerful for bringing a deepened sense of well-being, connectedness and enhancing our relationship to self, others and all things." Dr. Andrew Huberman, Neuroscientist

Gratitude is a deliberate practice of focusing on, relishing and absorbing the good in our own and others' lives, instead of ruminating on the negatives. It is an affirmation of the goodness, gifts and benefits in our lives and the world.

What can gratitude give you?

Intentionally cultivating gratitude on a daily basis, activates the pro-social circuits in our brains which literally changes the wiring of the neural pathways, as well as a whole host of other benefits; increased happiness, stronger immune systems, improved sleep, better emotional regulation, enhanced self-esteem, increased empathy, better relationships, more productivity and increased resilience. But most gratitude practices (e.g. listing things you might be grateful for) are too simplistic and don't actually lead to positive benefits or changes in brain circuitry.

This journal teaches the most potent gratitude practice, based on the latest neuroscientific research into gratitude. It combines stimulating the autonomic nervous system into a state of calm alertness; enhancing the practice, storytelling; activating the pro-social circuits and taking in the good, which together create a neurochemical signature that releases dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin (the feel good chemicals). Its simple structured format is designed to rewire and tilt the brain towards the benefits associated with the pro-social circuits, enabling more effective interactions with ourselves and others, so that they become our default way of thinking.
