Cultivating Happiness
Hello! Hope you are doing good and having an amazing day!
Welcome to the last but not least, Day 3 of the "Happiness Booster" Event.
Hope this event was successful in bringing a smile to your face :)
There are a lot of ways to become happy and every person has a different approach to it. A simple source of happiness for one person may or may not provide happiness to the other person as well.
For example, for some people, the sight of a big husky dog is a source of happiness. But for others, it might be a source of scariness. While some are happy to see a dog on the street while randomly walking, others are scared.
Thus, we all have our own unique ways to describe and experience happiness. We just have to go through this journey of life while accumulating as many memories that give us joy as we can.
"Happiness is a habit- cultivate it."
Even when we all experience happiness in different things, we have something in common when it comes to ‘feeling happy’. We all get the same hormones released in our bodies in order to ‘feel happy’.
Let’s learn about these ‘Happy Hormones’. They are of 4 types and they are released by our brain-
-
Dopamine (The Reward Chemical)
Motivation & Concentration - Completing a task, performing self-care activities, striving towards a goal, eating food
-
Oxytocin (The Love Hormone)
Increases trust/ relationships - Playing with a pet/baby, hugging a loved one, giving/receiving compliments
-
Serotonin (The Mood Stabilizer)
Well-being and happiness - Improving social behavior, meditating, exercising, having sun exposure, being around nature
-
Endorphin (The Pain Reliever)
Relieves stress & blocks discomfort - watching a funny movie, eating something sweet like chocolate, using essential oils, exercising

So, let’s cultivate and boost our happiness together while remembering that it’s okay to not be happy 24/7. Our cheeks need a break from smiling and laughing xD

@VerseArt 👍 Nice article
@VerseArt i believe we can cultivate and boost happiness together by being more loving and open with one another. this can be hard for some people, maybe from what they've been through and/or they're not used to it, so it's intimidating, but all in all if we join together, we can find unity and love within ourselves. trust plays a big part in any relationship, so learning to trust one another is another great thing to practice with loved ones. spending more time with each other and being there for each other when we need someone is bound to create deeper connections <3
I completely agree. If we all trust each other and support each other through thick and thin, we can certainly cultivate and boost our happiness. After all, unity is strength, and sharing laughs and smiles with people we care about will go a long way in building that trust.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us. Have a wonderful day ahead!
