And we get them to always sit down on the bench. We then get them to have a grateful thought and ask themselves why they actually feel grateful for that thing. Frequency of gratitude is the most important factor. just once a week thinking, oh, yeah, I'm kind of grateful I've got my house. It's great for your mind. But to really get the oxytocin production, we need it to be frequently occurring.

Overthinking is just like a massive challenge in our world where our brain rapidly spirals into negative scenarios. You hear a piece of news about your family or your work or your health, and our brain goes so quickly into worst case scenario. It's very clear that in an overthinking state, gratitude is such a powerful practice to start settling the mind back down.

Because in the overthinking, it's like fear, fear, what's not going right? What's not going right? Gratitude is this safety, safety. Okay, I have some things. I'm okay. I have some kind of stable foundation to build on. such a powerful antidote to so much of the pain we have now.

overthinking more as a conversation that's happening in your mind, a little bit of oxytocin, and then also something that's happening with serotonin. Serotonin really interconnects with the state of our body and our nervous system.
