Do you know about 4 hormones that are needed to boost your mood up. In other words, when you feel down, your brain needs some more hormones of happiness. Let’s begin:
- OXYTOCIN
Oxytocin plays roles in behavior that include social bonding, love, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth. You can try: hugging, be hugged, cooking something for those you love or hold someone hand, calling to your family member, hang out with friends, pet your dog or cat, doing volunteering. - ENDORPHINS
Endorphins are peptides produced in the brain that block the perception of pain and increase feelings of wellbeing. You can practice some small skills, smell insence, watch a comedy, read a joke, laugh with friends, have a hot shower, get a massage. - SEROTONIN:
This hormone and neurotransmitter helps regulate your mood as well as your sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability, and memory. You can try to go out of your house, enjoy the sunlight outside, walk for while, eat something you like, or doing meditation and zen, doing some exercise. - DOPAMINE:
Known as the “feel-good” hormone, dopamine is a neurotransmitter that’s an important part of your brain’s reward system. It’s associated with pleasurable sensations, along with learning, memory, and more. You can try to eat something sweet, drink green tea, listen to a positive music, complete a small tasks and congratulate yourself, do something creative.
Have a nice weekend!
