There are four hormones responsible for determining a person's level of happiness, they are:
1- Endorphins π₯°
2- Dopamine π₯°
3- Serotonin π₯°
4- Oxytocin π₯°
Firstly: Endorphins
When we go to the gym or exercise, the body releases this hormone to overcome the pain caused by the exercises, which is why we feel pleasure when exercising. Laughing is also a good way to release endorphins. We need at least 30 minutes a day to watch funny and entertaining things or exercise to get our daily dose of endorphins.
Secondly: Dopamine
In the journey of life, each of us achieves many tasks, whether big or small. The feeling of accomplishment causes the release of dopamine in varying amounts. Also, when we receive appreciation for any work we have done, and any work that makes us feel proud, the body releases this hormone, which in turn raises our level of happiness.
This explains why housewives are usually unhappy (because they rarely receive the appropriate appreciation and recognition for the amount of effort they put in every day).
Thirdly: Serotonin
It comes when we benefit others, when we go beyond ourselves and are able to give to nature or society, even if it is sharing useful information with others, writing a useful post online, or answering someone's question. All of these things cause the body to release serotonin and thus cause a feeling of happiness.
Fourthly: Oxytocin
It is released when we approach people, when we shake hands, when we hug... and that is why we must hug a small child with a troubled mood so that he/she can increase this hormone and feel happy again.
In summary, we simply need to:
π΄ Exercise every day for .
