*4 Hormones* which determine a *human's happiness.* Worth reading As I sat in the park *after* my *morning walk,* My wife came and slumped next to me. *She had completed* her 30-minute jog. *We chatted* for a while. She said *she is not happy* in life. I looked up at her with sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life. *"Why do you think so?"* "I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, *but I am not happy.* "Then I questioned myself, *am I happy? "No,"* was my inner voice reply. Now, that was an *eye-opener for me.* I began my quest to *understand the real cause* of my *unhappiness,* I couldn't find one. I dug deeper, *read articles,* spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense. *At last my doctor* friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest. *I implemented* those and will say I am *a lot happier person.* She said, *there are four hormones* which determine a *human's happiness -* 1. *Endorphins,* 2. *Dopamine,* 3. *Serotonin,* and 4. *Oxytocin.* It is important we *understand these hormones,* as we *need all four* of them *to stay happy.* Let's look at the *first hormone* the *Endorphins.* *When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.* This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then *enjoy exercising* because these Endorphins will make us happy. *Laughter is* another good way of *generating Endorphins.* We need to spend *30 minutes exercising* every day, read or *watch funny stuff* to get our day's dose of Endorphins. *The second hormone is Dopamine.* In our journey of life, we accomplish many *little and big tasks, it releases* various levels of *Dopamine.* *When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home,* we feel accomplished and good, that is *because it releases Dopamine.* This also explains *why* most *housewives* are *unhappy* since they *rarely* get *acknowledged* or appreciated *for their work.* Once, we join work, we *buy* a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a *new house* so forth. In each instance, it *releases Dopamine* and we become happy. Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop? *The third hormone Serotonin* is released when we *act in a way that benefits others.* When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or *to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.* Even, providing useful information on the internet like *writing information* blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or *Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.* That is *because* we will use our *precious time to help other* people via our answers or articles. *The final hormone is Oxytocin,* is released *when* we become *close to other human* beings. When we *hug our friends* or family *Oxytocin is released.* The *"Jadoo Ki Jhappi"* from Munnabhai *does really work.* Similarly, when we *shake hands* or put our *arms around* someone's shoulders, various amounts of *Oxytocin is released.* So, it is simple, we have to *exercise every day* to get *Endorphins,* we have to *accomplish* little *goals* and get *Dopamine,* we *need to* be *nice* to others to *get Serotonin* and finally *hug our kids,* friends, and families to *get Oxytocin* and we will *be happy.* *When we are happy, we can deal* with our challenges and *problems better.* Now, we can understand *why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.* So in order to feel more and more *happy* day by day ... 1.*Motivate ourselves to play and have some fun* *-Endorphins* 2. *Appreciate others* for any small or big achievements *-Dopamine* 3. *Inculcate sharing* habit through you to others *-Serotonin* 4. *Hug* your family, friends...... *-Oxytocin* *Have a Happy Life
Nice. I am ready to hug & shake the world. Let it be kind and come facilitating my hug with my shaky hands. Anything end with sound “sin” seems to be doing a world of good to humans. Thanks and Regards.
