HOW TO GET YOUR DAILY DOSE OF HAPPINESS CHEMICALS

When you feel good, your brain is releasing one of the happiness chemicals. There are four happiness chemicals, which are known as dose:

- Dopamine
- Oxytocin
- Serotonin
- Endorphin

Each chemical has a job to do and when your brain releases one of these chemicals, you feel good.

It would be great if they all surged all the time. However, it does not work this way.

Once the chemical has done its job, it will turn off, leaving you with a desire for more.

By understanding how these chemicals work, we can better improve our overall happiness by tapping into each of the four happiness chemicals.

Not everyone gets enough of each of the happiness chemicals. This deficiency can leave you feeling sad, depressed, hopeless and anxious.

Getting your daily dose of happiness chemicals may seem simple, but if you struggle with negative thinking patterns then it's recommend to learn how to challenge automatic negative thoughts first.

IDENTIFYING TRIGGERS: WHAT TRIGGERED ME?

A trigger is something that sets off an emotional reaction in the form of a memory or flashback related to trauma.

Raised voices might trigger a memory of childhood abuse for example.

Some of the triggers may not even make sense to anyone but you. Everyone is different.

Often when we are triggered it’s easy to identify those base emotions - fear, anger, anxiety depression etc.

The real work begins when we are able to specifically identify those emotions behind being upset, annoyed, scared etc.

When we do that we can face those fears and reassure ourselves that are past trauma is not in the present.

You can use this tool to understand why you feel things in your relationships with other people.

If a friend does something that hurts your feelings instead of understanding the base feeling of hurt, you can also use this to understand what’s behind that feeling and why you feel hurt.
