the ultimate biohacking flex
Even if you were born an Eeyore, you can still change modes thanks to, well, thanks! By practicing gratitude, our brains learn to seek what's good instead of what's wrong. Those genius neuroscientists call this experience-dependent neuroplasticity, and amazingly, our brains physically rewire themselves to expect more to be grateful for. Adios stress, bon jour calm.
To rewire your own brain, try this 7-Day Gratitude Challenge, (PW: Gratitude). It's more interesting than social media, since it's all about you, and within ONE WEEK you'll improve your brain's architecture AND functionality. Moreover, according to epigenetics, while your DNA won't change, gratitude flips the bad genes off and the good genes on.
When you practice gratitude regularly, here's what happens:
You lower chronic inflammation in your body.
You decrease stress hormones (like cortisol).
You increase positive neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin).
You activate “protective” genes related to longevity and emotional resilience.
You silence “destructive” genes associated with disease, depression, and anxiety.
So, what are you waiting for? Start practicing (and share, please!)
