Did you know that showing gratitude and focusing on the positive can boost mood and reduce mood swing?
According to recent research conducted by National Library of Medicine, scientist found out that serotonin level is higher in people who focus more on positive thinking and gratitude rather than those that focus on the negative events. In summary been grateful and thankful can increase both the dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter. The more grateful we are, the more thankful we are, the more we focus on gratitude; the happier we become.
Furthermore, being thankful makes it harder to focus on our failures, weakness and negative or toxic emotions. It shifts our attention to the positive events in life, the wins, the great decisions.
