Thankfulness Improves Your Brain
I was listening to a psychologist talk about how thankfulness can improve your brain! I won't go into the details, mainly because I can't remember them all :) Let's just agree to be thankful because it is a good idea and feels so much better than unthankfulness, alright?
Let's also make this easy...
List three things you are thankful for:
1. My health.
2. My spiritual community.
3. My family.
OK, let's make it a little harder. Take the three general things you listed and make them more specific (oh yeah, only state them in positive terms, as in what you like and not what you don't like ("I am glad I don't have a headache"):
1. I am thankful about how caffeine wakes me up and gives me such simple comfort.
2. I am thankful for my friend Larry's willingness to trust me.
3. I am thankful for the soup my wife made for dinner last night (chicken noodle!).
