Gratitude is an emotion in all of us. It is a skill we have to cultivate as it’s a learned behavior. Using our Mindfulness practice, we can pause, notice, sense, and feel what it is we are grateful for. Our brains are wired to hold on to our negative experiences and easily forget the positive ones. Dr. Rick Hanson explains it using this analogy, “The brain is like velcro for negative experiences and teflon for the positive.” Can you relate?
