With that as background, let’s go back to our friend Jessica. The amazing thing is, is that you can trigger the release of these chemicals by acting grateful. Serotonin improves your mood and increases your motivation and willpower. Numerous studies have shown that the conscious act of gratitude releases two main neurotransmitters: Dopamine and Serotonin.ĭopamine triggers positive emotions, it makes you feel optimistic and it’s linked to your ability to change bad habits. It means that you should consciously be thankful for something in all circumstances.
I already used this quote in my post Gratitude: The Best Advice I’ve Ever Received, but there’s so much profound wisdom in “Be thankful in all circumstances” because it’s backed by neuroscience! Be thankful in all circumstances.” 1 Thess 5:18 (NLTSE) You can impact what neurotransmitters are being released by consciously thinking and acting in certain ways. The key point is that how you feel or react to any particular event is a function of what’s going on with these neurotransmitters. These neurons are grouped together into different neurotransmitter systems, each system is a grouping of neurons that share mutual reactions, or release a particular type of neurotransmitter. Neurons are mini electrical switches that talk to each other through the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Our brains are made up of billions of tiny nerve cells called neurons. I’ll share a strategy to do this, but first, here’s a quick lesson on how your brain works. The top performers in life understand how their brain works, and they harness the science of their brain to keep themselves mentally healthy. You expect a bowl of cherries, but get handed a sour lemon instead. I’m sure life has thrown you similar curve balls. And right before Christmas too cold-hearted, right? Guess what, instead of rolling out the ring, he dumped her.
They’re going to the most romantic restaurant in town, they’ve been dating a while, it’s the holidays, dare she expect a ring? The story kicks-off with Jessica being asked to dinner by her boyfriend.
#Write before christmas hallmark movie movie#
Yes, they can be cheesy and idealistic, but I watched “ About Write Before Christmas” the other night, and the movie is actually based on the science of gratitude! Photo by Les-anderson on Unsplash If zoning out in front of a sweet movie that most definitely involves a Christmas cookie-baking scene makes visions of sugar plums dance in your head, here are 20 Hallmark Christmas movies to watch this month.I catch a lot of grief for watching holiday Hallmark movies. The jokes about people who watch these "cheesy" films are plentiful, but snuggling up under a big fuzzy Christmas blanket with a mug of hot chocolate to watch a former child actress fall in love with the handsome stranger in the cabin next door truly never gets old. Who needs their clean socks in actual drawers anyway? These Hallmark Christmas movies aren't going to watch themselves, people.Īre they usually predictable as all get out? Sure, but that's exactly why I love them so much. I can't escape the pull of a picturesque snowfall and plop myself down on the couch to finish the film instead of putting away the laundry. I often turn them on while I'm doing things around the house as background noise, but inevitably get sucked in by the holly jolly plot line. It's no secret to anyone who knows me that Hallmark movies are my holiday jam.
It is as much of a Christmas tradition as trimming your tree. Despite all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you will likely take at least a little time to cuddle up and watch Hallmark's holiday movies this month.
