Repetitively focusing our attention on what is good activates and strengthens neural circuits associated with positive emotion, empathy, and meaning. Through a process called experience-dependent neuroplasticity, the brain gradually rewires itself—making it easier to notice goodness, regulate emotion, and return to states of calm and connection. This isn’t just mood-boosting; it’s soul-forming. By choosing to dwell on what is true, beautiful, and good, we shape both our inner world and our capacity to flourish, even in the midst of stress or sorrow.
