Turn Your World Upside Down!
/It's CHOOSEDAY. One of the biggest decisions we have to make is our attitude.
We can have an attitude of gratitude, or an attitude of complaining. Now I don't know about you, but would you rather live and work with grateful people, OR work and live with complaining people.
I'll take the grateful people every single time.
Whether you choose thankfulness or criticism, you are creating stronger bonds in the brain. "Synapses that fire together, wire together."
The principle is simple: Throughout the entire brain there are many collections of synapses separated by an empty space called the synaptic cleft. When you have a thought, one synapse sends a chemical across the cleft (empty space) to the other synapse. This creates a bridge which carries the electric signal across.
The Kicker: Every time this electrical charge is triggered, the synapses grow closer together in order to increase efficiency. The Brain wants to make more likely that the proper synapses will share the chemical link, therefore, it is easier to trigger that thought.
Your thoughts, whether they are positive or negative, grateful or critical, RESHAPE your Brain!
Which would you rather have: a thought pattern that is turned on the path of gratitude, positivity and success? OR a thought pattern that is bent towards criticism, negativity and failure?
I don't know about you. All I know is I have consciously decided to focus on GRATITUDE! And it has made me much healthier!
