You're happier when...

Everyone wants to be happier. I believe this to my core, yet sometimes we are unsure how to become happier. 

 

Becoming happier doesn't have to be complicated. 


The science behind happiness shows us that you're happier when you make choices that promote the release of the brain's "happy chemicals."

 

These chemicals are endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.


Here's a summary of what we've learned about the brain's "happy chemicals" and a dozen science-based and actionable steps you can take to become happier TODAY.

What causes happiness?

 

  • Do you need to go somewhere to find it?

  • Is it a dollar amount at the end of a bank statement?

  • Is happiness an achievement?  

  • Is it found in a new (or restored) relationship?

  • Is happiness found in time away, time alone, or time with a loved one? 

Any of these experiences or places can lead to a happy feeling – which we often crave. But happiness isn't any of those things – but rather a response to what is happening in your biologically when you experience examples like the ones above.
