well being

Expressing gratitude consistently rewires your daily outlook.

A 2003 study showed that writing about things you are grateful for increases well-being compared to focusing on daily hassles.

Regularly noting positives forces the brain to allocate attention to different environmental cues, reducing the natural focus on threats.

Gratitude is not a moral virtue; it is a mechanism for training your attention.

Where this comes from

One of these every day, and every one names the study it came from. When a finding is contested, it says so.
