gratitude is a reflection of the right brain. To be clear, being grateful goes beyond simple acceptance of reality into the realm of being thankful for it. For instance, if the right brain could speak, rather than saying “I accept the fact that it is raining,” it might say, “I am so glad that it is raining.” Research has determined there is greater activity in the right brain when subjects experienced the sensations of gratitude,13 and another study found that subjects who were more grateful actually had more gray matter in certain parts of the right brain.
