Gratitude literally rewires your brain — and this 2018 UC Berkeley brain scan proves it.

After just eight weeks of consistent gratitude practice, participants showed stronger brain structure in regions tied to social cognition and empathy (prefrontal cortex and related networks).

Science nugget:

fMRI research from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley (2018) demonstrated that gratitude interventions increase gray matter density and functional connectivity in areas responsible for understanding others’ perspectives, processing emotions, and building stronger social bonds — measurable changes that appear after only 8 weeks of daily practice.

The image shows a heat-map overlay of brain activity and structure differences between grateful practitioners and controls — warmer colors indicate enhanced regions.

In a world full of stress and division, a simple daily habit can make your brain better at connection and compassion.

What’s one thing you’re grateful for right now?

@RobProvince Here I thought healthcare would be so advanced when I reached the age of concern. Now I’m just concerned about healthcare.

@Vibe_Bells Very good!

@JoeConchaTV @AnthonyAbides Come on. We know they’re not dumb. It’s a toxic mix of racism and jealousy. And we can all see it, though some will claim they can’t.

They printed $9 trillion, gave you $1400 in stimmy checks, sent the rest to their NGOs and campaign donors and left you with the inflation.

[Craig Counts @CraigCounts]

@tinainvirginia Good taste

[Craig Counts @CraigCounts]

@FarahnMorgan Nicely done, Farahn.

@DavidLeeRoth Hey, his pitch is good! Stick with this Dave.

In the United States, if you destroy a Bald Eagle egg:

$100k fine.
1 year in prison.

Because an unborn Eagle.
Is still an Eagle.

I wonder how else this applies.

Obamacare was "Affordable Health Care"

The Democrats insisted this was true when ONLY Democrats voted in favor and forced it down the throats of the American people.

They don't get to do it again.

Obamacare has almost broken the system completely.
