notice the beautiful

Day 3

everyone knows gratitude leads to satisfaction. It is why making a gratitude journal is useful and rewarding. why are so many people ungrateful and unsatisfied in their lives. There are many contributing explanations. One that seems likely is evolutionary psychology.

we did not EVOLVE spoiled and unable to appreciate things. In general our brains are conditioned to asses threats, all day. Better threat analysis ensures the species continuation.

If it is a beautiful day, and your body is pain free, your brain may not bother to notice. Noticing homeostasis isn't a survival asset.

Make surviving worth it, notice the beautiful.
