Discover simple, science-backed ways to build a gratitude practice that actually sticks — even if life feels chaotic, overwhelming, or downright exhausting. In this post, I break down five evidence-based gratitude habits you can do in under two minutes, including the 3×10 method, micro thank-yous, habit-pairing cues, the “look for good” challenge, and the gratitude jar technique.
After having spent 10 years teaching both big kids and little kids (elementary school and university), I began my neuroscience research journey to understand how the brain works and how to make it work better.

Beyond my work, I live in Naples, Florida and enjoy anything in the sunshine.
