Often times we may become so distracted lamenting the things we do not have, that the many things we do enjoy tend to disappear from sight, sometimes temporarily, others for a longer period of time. The longer we stay in this state of mind, the more inactive the neural pathways that have led us to strategic thinking and successful action in the past tend to become. We get stocked in a position of victimization and disadvantage that can ultimately render us unproductive and unhappy.
Research has shown that when we smile, our brain tend to not make a difference between a fake and a real smile. In the same way, when we are thankful we activate parts of our brains that increase the perception of happiness and well-being, no matter what the circumstances are and in consequence, we are more prone to act in ways that are fruitful and rewarding. Being thankful also helps fight viruses and autoimmune illnesses by making our immune systems more aggressive. Why then, not make thanksgiving an everyday exercise?
