Let's take a look at the happiness chemicals in the brain. Understanding how to activate these chemicals can help improve our mood in more natural ways.
Serotonin - The Mood Stabiliser: Things like meditation, spending time outdoors, exercising, and getting sun exposure activate this chemical.
Dopamine - The Reward Chemical: Celebrating small victories, eating nutritious meals, completing tasks, and self-care all activate dopamine.
Endorphins - The Pain Killer: Volunteering, exercising, being active, laughing, and watching good movies activate your endorphins.
Oxytocin - The Love Hormone: Things like physical affection and giving compliments encourage this brain chemical.
