Hacking Happiness

Happiness is the most beautiful feeling we all have. It makes us active, feel good and revitalize. You don't need to find happiness far away because there are hormones in our body which makes us happy automatically. Those are Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphin and you can get those hormones by doing these simple things.

Dopamine

Our body produces this type of hormone when we give reward to ourselves. For example - when we play game and upgrade to a next level, we feel satisfied and keep on playing because this hormone is working inside of our body. Dopamine hormone can be produced naturally by doing:

• Finishing a task such as cleaning your room, writing an assignment
• Doing self-care
• Eating your favourite food
• Celebrating small wins

Oxytocin

This one is called love hormone and as its name you can get it by doing:

• Playing with your dog
• Playing with children
• Hugging someone
• Holding someone's hand
• Acknowledging others for their good work

Serotonin

This hormone level depends mainly on our feelings. If we have low serotonin hormone, then we feel stress therefore you can increase the level of this hormone by doing:

• Meditation
• Running
• Getting sunlight
• Walking in the nature
• Swimming
• Cycling

Endorphin

The level of this hormone also depends on our feelings so you can get it by doing:

• Laughing
• Having Aromatherapy
• Watching Comedy
• Eating dark chocolate
• Doing exercise

Health is wealth especially during this pandemic period, we need to take good care of ourselves.

What one habit that you are doing to keep yourself fit?

Wishing you all a healthy and happy life!
