Dr. Robert Emmons

The Little Book of Gratitude

WE Become the Sum of the 5 People We are Listening to the Most!

When we repeat something over and over the neurological pathway becomes stronger. Think of gratitude ~ practicing gratitude will create stronger pathways in our brain.

Mindset ~ what we think becomes what we say and eventually what we do. 

Spiritually speaking ~ cognitive dissonance; habitual versus value-based

How can this benefit you? 

• Re-shaping our brains ~ greater sense of contentment versus happy / sad (emotions ~ temporary)
• Dr. Emmons ~ memory and learning are linked ~ keep gratitudes fresh & new
  • Importance of writing / posting gratitude; needs to be more than that ~ unexpected kindnesses

Have a great day all ~ Gratitude Does Matter!
