Thoughts, emotions, and things in our environment all effect how our neurons fire ⚡️ 
When the same neurons are activated over time, they get stronger💪🏼 
When neurons and neural pathways get stronger molecular changes start happening that cause DNA to be coiled differently 🧬 This effects gene expression + other things as well !! 
This is some of the science behind epigenetics. 

You can use this to change your health and your body in a way that benefits you ! Thinking positively and looking for the beauty in everything will change your brain, your health, and your life. 

The opposite is also true :/ being negative and pessimistic can cause poor health outcomes. 

If you’ve ever heard of the placebo effect, this is highly involved in that. Believing that a drug is working in your brain/body so wholeheartedly that your brain/body actually starts to work that way. It’s science 🤷🏻‍♀️

here’s a link to the cdc website where they talk about epigenetics if you wanna learn more 🤓
