When we exercise/ do yoga / walking around green, the body releases ENDORPHINS. This Hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then enjoy yoga/exercising because these Endorphins will make us happy. Laughter is another good way of generating Endorphins. We need to spend 30 minutes do yoga/exercising every day, Read or watch interesting 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/ house, the latest gadgets /shopping, travel to accomplish little goals and get Dopamine, and we become happy.
The third hormone SEROTONIN is released when we act in a way that benefits others. When we transcend ourselves and give back to others, to the society or to nature with unconditional spiritual mindsets, it releases SEROTONIN. Even providing useful information on the internet like writing information/ blogs, answering peoples questions or social media groups contribution will generate Serotonin. That is because we will use our precious time to help other people via our answers or articles called Praying for others benefit. generates SEROTONIN, and we become happy.
The final hormone is OXYTOCIN, is released when we become close to other human beings (sharing emotions) with matching Aura. When we hug our friends or family Oxytocin is released. Similarly, when we shake hands or put our arms around lover's shoulders, various amounts of OXYTOCIN is released. We need to be nice to others to get Serotonin. See, how all the elements are inside of you. People find many ways to hurt you, make sure you find many ways to happy again. Service to humanity is the best charity and to work for the common good is the greatest creed. It is not always just enough to talk about peace, humanity, charity, you must believe in it and work at it.
The main job of the amygdala is to regulate emotions, such as fear and aggression. In the 1930s, researchers discovered that when a certain part of monkeys’ brains was removed, the animals became fearless. They approached snakes, started batting them and played with their hissing tongues. This experiment has been repeated in animals numerous times, and the scientific consensus is that when the amygdala is removed, an animal loses any sense of fear. Now, scientists have confirmed that a missing amygdala results in similar behavior in humans.
When you do selfless service, you gain the needed strength and courage to awaken all those around you. Give out a piece of your heart, rather than your mind and carry out random acts of kindness without any expectations. Be the reason someone smiles, be the reason someone feels loved and believes in goodness. Helping others or performing simple random acts of kindness releases all feel-good hormones - serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin and more over reduce the amount of amygdala (fear).
The subjective feeling is that of being healed, energized and loved. The person being kind passes on the same vibes to the receiver. It takes just one person to start this chain of kindness. You cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that you can do. There's science behind the act of kindness. It grows when shared. Do something kind to someone today and experience the happiness of sharing. Be kind to yourself. It doesn't take much to be kind. Share your random acts of kindness to motivate others more...
