https://www.teresacolaneri.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/thanks.jpg800533One of the most simple but often overlooked tools to prime the mind for greater intelligence is a gratitude practice. Practice being the key word because if cortisol has a shelf life of 26 hours, impacting our system long after we seemingly feel better, then we must practice elevating oxytocin, the bonding hormone which currently only has a shelf life of four. Many studies indicate the positive impact of gratitude on our overall wellbeing. Gratitude elevates our feel good hormones and helps to regulate cortisol. This is probably why one study showed that gratitude is good for our heart (Mills, 2015). Gratitude lowers blood pressure, decreases stress, and improves sleep.
