START HERE:
Sit comfortably and take deep breaths.
Think of 3 things you're grateful for (big or small).
Visualize them and feel the gratitude in your body.
Repeat: "I am grateful for all that I have.β
π Why it works? Gratitude shifts the brain away from negativity and increases serotonin and dopamine levels.
