Truth!

Big day tomorrow I It’s official. Signed at 8:10am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents

According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA. I do not give consent!

Yes!

Regularly expressing gratitude can influence the brain's molecular structure by altering neural pathways and neurotransmitter activity.

Neuroscientific research suggests that gratitude activates regions like the prefrontal cortex, associated with decision-making and emotional regulation, and the ventral tegmental area, linked to reward processing.

This activation triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which enhance mood and reinforce positive behaviors.

Over time, consistent gratitude practice strengthens synaptic connections in these areas, a process known as neuroplasticity, effectively "rewiring" the brain to favor optimism and resilience.

Studies, including those using fMRI, show that gratitude increases activity in the hypothalamus, which regulates stress responses, improving emotional balance.

This may also elevate oxytocin levels, fostering social bonding and trust. At a molecular level, gratitude may influence gene expression related to stress and inflammation, potentially reducing cortisol production.

These changes enhance mental well-being, lower anxiety, and improve sleep quality. By consistently focusing on positive emotions, individuals can reshape neural networks, making gratitude a self-reinforcing habit.

While direct molecular changes are complex and not fully mapped, the cumulative effect of gratitude fosters a brain environment conducive to emotional health and cognitive flexibility.
