Summary
Gratitude is more than a feeling. It is one of the most powerful tools I use to rewire my brain for focus, resilience, and high performance.
In this special Thanksgiving episode, I break down the neuroscience behind gratitude and explain how a consistent practice can boost your mood, sharpen your thinking, improve your emotional regulation, and create lasting changes in your brain.
You will learn how gratitude increases dopamine and serotonin, why it strengthens neural pathways linked to empathy and calm, and how it improves your ability to learn, solve problems, and recover from stress.
I also share my Thanksgiving formula, a simple and memorable step by step method you can use to build gratitude into your daily routine and transform your mental performance.
Whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, this episode will help you bring more clarity, joy, and strength into your life through the power of gratitude.
