This is your brain ... on gratitude.

Long time, no type.

This week I had the pleasure of attending a conference with a guest speaker that focused on how the body, mind, & spirit (emotions) are critical to succeeding in life, specifically in our business.

One of the illustrations he shared (he's a brain surgeon by trade) was the difference in high brain function between a brain that was expressing gratitude and a stressed brain.

The grateful brain, so to speak, was "lit up" on the brain scan, while the stressed brain was dull and virtually lifeless.

What was his point?

When you need to regain your focus, find inspiration, regain clarity ... spend a minute thinking about something your are most grateful for. Your brain will thank you for it!
