Feel Grounded Through Gratitude
A free nervous system tool to shift from overwhelm to enoughness.
Gratitude Isn’t Just a Feeling—It’s a Biological Anchor
Gratitude is often mistaken for surface-level positivity.
But in somatic work, it’s so much more than saying “thank you.”
Gratitude is a nervous system signal.
It tells your body: we’re safe here.
It gently shifts your brain from scanning for threat… to noticing support, beauty, and enoughness.
Even in overwhelm, we can learn to anchor into the calm beneath the chaos.
And that’s where your healing begins.
🧠 What Gratitude Does Inside the Body
These are the nervous system shifts gratitude can create:
-
RAS Activation = Better Filters
Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters your focus. Gratitude trains it to look for what supports you, not just what threatens you.
Fox et al., 2015
-
Dopamine + Serotonin = Mood Regulation
Gratitude boosts feel-good neurotransmitters, helping regulate emotions and build resilience from the inside out.
Keltner & Lerner, 2010
-
Vagus Nerve = Calm and Social Safety
Practices like hand-to-heart breathwork paired with gratitude activate vagal tone, helping your body shift into calm and connection.
Porges, 2007
-
Somatic Gratitude = Grounded Enoughness
When gratitude is felt in your body, not just thought in your mind, it becomes a stabilizing force. A home you can return to.
✨ Gratitude Isn’t a Bypass—It’s a Bridge

But you can gently remind your body that it’s safe to notice what’s working, too.
