Gratitude

TIME: 10 minutes BENEFITS: Gratitude makes us happier and healthier — and even makes us live longer! How can this be? It turns out, practising gratitude rewires our brains and releases our natural antidepressants: serotonin and dopamine. What’s really cool is that research also shows that the more we intentionally practise gratitude (especially on ourselves), the more likely we are to express it without thinking. Then we begin to naturally notice what we appreciate and let negativity bounce off.

Sounds pretty good, right?
