Exploring Happy Chemicals

Happiness can be found in the seemingly mundane things we do every day, which gives our brain a boost of feel-good chemicals. Being in a positive state has a direct and significant impact on our productivity, motivation, and overall well-being.

Even the simplest of the tasks, like smiling, can release the chemicals in our brain. Happiness is majorly regulated by the four hormones- Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins, so whenever you feel anxious, sad or stressed, try out these simple tasks that will help you uplift your mood and get you in a more positive state!

1.Dopamine- The reward chemical:

2.Serotonin- The mood stabilizer:
