Our brains are wired to remember negative experiences more vividly than positive ones—it's a survival mechanism. But I've noticed that people who actively practice gratitude journaling report higher well-being after eight weeks, which suggests we can override that bias. Yet if negativity is so hardwired, are we just fighting our biology with a temporary hack? I lean toward yes, but I'd love to hear counterarguments from anyone who thinks gratitude is just self-deception.
