From Dr. Jay Kumar - 5 Ways To Train Your Brain For A Healthy & Happy New Year!
January 3, 2013
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I wish the year continues to bring you more joy, abundance, prosperity, and wellbeing that you deserve. To help you reach that intention, here are some insightful and helpful tips from research into emerging field of social neuroscience how to meet your intentions for greater health and happiness in Body, Brain, and Being!

Tip # 1 - "Gratitude is a Healthy Attitude"
Expressing gratitude for what you have, no matter how small it is, can also contribute to your greater health and happiness. In the past few years, scientists now recognize that gratitude is one of the most powerful and healthiest of human emotions. Studies at University of Miami, UC Davis, and Stanford University successfully demonstrate that remembering to be grateful for what you have in life can greatly outweigh any sadness, stress, or challenges you might currently experience. Further discoveries in neuroscience suggest that when you experience gratitude, the left pre-frontal cortex of the brain, an area that correlates to emotions of love and compassion, begins to activate. As I like to say, "Gratitude turns WHAT YOU HAVE into enough, creates contentment for WHAT IS, and manifests greater joy for WHO YOU ARE!" If you can't express gratitude for what you already have, how can you expect to be grateful for all the prosperity and abundance that awaits you in the New Year!
