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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat is gratitude? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/i\u003e Dr. Andrew Huberman, Neuroscientist \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGratitude 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat can gratitude give you? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntentionally 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat does this journal include? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn effective (and scientifically robust) daily gratitude practice designed to bring you a deepened sense of wellbeing, connectedness and enhanced relationship to self and others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep by step guide to establishing a positive pattern of thinking - one that will tilt your brain away from it's natural negativity bias - in just five minutes per day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekly challenges to help you stay motivated, build resilience and remain calm in the face of adversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspirational prompts and reflections that draw on your body's multiple intelligences (heart, head, gut, pelvis and autonomic nervous system) enabling deeper wisdom to emerge. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful illustrations and colouring pages to help you stay motivated and kick-start your creativity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA way to document your growth and evolution over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily inspirational quotes and reflections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew practices based on the latest neuroscience and mBraining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun and unique way to make every day a gratitude-filled one!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Ultimate Gratitude Journal makes developing an effective daily practice \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ethat will rewire your brain to be healthier and happier \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eeasy: making being grateful as natural as breathing.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeing accountable will not only short-circuit negative thought loops, but will help you shift your focus to a positive one, cultivate mindfulness and create a different way of living. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePurchase one now for yourself and those you love - and exchange Gratitude with each other for even greater impact.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45343821135974,"sku":"9780473638306","price":40.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/QlB0aXlpY0M1WEhzYmRpNk8rQm5sdz09.webp?v=1774957821","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-ultimate-gratitude-journal-a-practical-neuroscience-approach-to-rewiring-your-brain-to-be-healthier-and-happier-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
