Happiness Chemicals In Our Brains And How To Use Them
When we think about happiness we think love, money, family etc. We spend a lot of time finding ways to be happy but we don’t often think about the chemicals in our brains that makes us feel happiness. Do you know that the feeling you get from a long hug is caused by a different chemical than the feeling you get after exercising? Four chemicals and hormones in our brain DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN, SEROTONIN and ENDORPHINS (DOSE) are responsible for that positive feeling we get when we’re happy. Here’s how we can increase and use them in our daily lives. DOPAMINE- The Reward Chemical By completing a task Celebrating little wins Doing self care activities Eating food
OXYTOCIN- The Love Hormone Playing with a dog Playing with a baby Holding hands Giving compliments Hugging your friends or family SEROTONIN- The Mood Stabilizer Meditating Running Cycling Swimming Sun exposure Walk outdoors in nature ENDORPHINS- The Pain Killer Laughter Essential oils Dark chocolate Watching a comedy Exercising I hope you can add these things to your daily routine and make yourself happy no matter your circumstances. *If you found this article useful check out my other articles and don’t forget to Like, Comment and Subscribe 🧡*
