Magnet Mondays – Ways to Make your Brain Happy

January 13, 2020 – 2020 has started off at a fast pace and it’s easy to get caught up in business and forget about being mindful.  Here’s some great tips from the Daily Health Post to build gratitude into your daily practice (https://dailyhealthpost.com/gratitude-rewires-brain-happier/?fbclid=IwAR2cO3UPZhTIlJ_eL57wt1M8yqSVm-YNo6Bb8pZ_qj6ZdT5WUJjpWyW812E).

  1. Keep a daily journal of things you are grateful for – list at least three.  The best times to write in your journal is the morning when you begin your day, or the evening before you go to sleep.
  2. Make it a point to tell people in your life what you appreciate about them daily.
  3. When you look in the mirror, take a moment to think about a quality you like about yourself or something you recently accomplished.

Practicing daily gratitude is a proven way to wire our brains for optimism and compassion.  I’m grateful to serve with you and bring unparalleled safety, quality, service and innovation to our patients and families.  Happy New Year!
