First Line Friday

First Line Friday...

"If I took every romantic poem, every book, every song, and every movie I've ever read, heard or seen and extracted the breath-taking moments, somehow bottling them up, they would pale in comparison to this moment."

Waiting on Wednesday: The Gratitude Effect

Hi All,

Stopping by to let you know about a book I am waiting on.

Author: Dr. Randy Karmen
 
Summary from Goodreads:
Engage the science of positivity for greater health and happiness.

Gratitude is a powerful emotion that conveys appreciation for a moment that has touched you in some way and moves you to express thankfulness. When you experience gratitude, your brain releases neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, resulting in a host of tangible benefits associated with positive thinking and emotions. Practiced regularly, gratitude literally rewires your brain to be more optimistic, flexible, and joyful, while simultaneously reducing stress and anxiety, building resilience to adversity, and strengthening your immune system, cardiac health, sleep hygiene, and more. These many positive changes to your health and well-being are “the gratitude effect,” and because these effects are cumulative, the more you practice gratitude, the greater its impact over time.

With The Gratitude Effect Positivity Journal, you’ll engage your brain’s neuroplasticity to reshape your worldview—and retrain your brain for greater joy, resiliency, and personal empowerment.

Happy Reading!
