For What Are You Grateful?

Gratitude is good medicine for organ recipients

Gratitude is good medicine for organ recipients: "In a study of organ recipients, researchers from UC Davis and the Mississippi University for Women found that patients who keep “gratitude journals” score better on measures of mental health, general health and vitality than those who keep only routine notes about their days.

“We found that increased feelings of gratitude can cause people’s well-being and quality of life to improve,” said Robert Emmons, a UC Davis professor who specializes in the study of gratitude."

Putting your feelings into words could help your brain... 6/21/2007

Putting your feelings into words could help your brain... 6/21/2007:

A new study from UCLA gives insight into how cultivating an attitude of gratitude works on the brain.

"Why does putting our feelings into words — talking with a therapist or friend, writing in a journal — help us to feel better? A new brain imaging study by UCLA psychologists reveals why verbalizing our feelings makes our sadness, anger and pain less intense.

Another study, with the same participants and three of the same members of the research team, combines modern neuroscience with ancient Buddhist teachings to provide the first neural evidence for why 'mindfulness' — the ability to live in the present moment, without distraction — seems to produce a variety of health benefits."

As Wayne Dyer points out (if one of, if not all his books) "...when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

I think cultivating an attitude has a tremendous impact on quality of life and I'd love if this becomes a place where we can explore how to cultivate and deepen this attitude.
