*4 Hormones* which determine a *human's happiness.*
As I sat in the park *after* my *morning walk,*
My wife came and slumped next to me.
*She had completed* her 30-minute jog. *We chatted* for a while. She said *she is not happy* in life. I looked up at her in sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life.
*"Why do you think so?"*
"I don't know. Everyone tells me I have everything I need, *but I am not happy.*
"Then I questioned myself, *am I happy? "No,"* was my inner voice reply.
Now, that was an *eye-opener for me.*
I began my quest to *understand the real cause* of my *unhappiness,*
I couldn't find one.
I dug deeper, *read articles,* spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense.
*At last it was my doctor* friend who gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest.
*I implemented* those and will say I am *a much happier person.*
She said, *there are four hormones* which determine a *human's happiness -*
1. *Endorphins,*
2. *Dopamine,*
3. *Serotonin,*
and
4. *Oxytocin.*
It is important we *understand these hormones,*
as we *need all four* of them *to stay happy.*
Let's look at the *first hormone* the *Endorphins.*
*When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.*
This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then *enjoy exercising* because these Endorphins will make us happy.
*Laughter is* another good way of *generating Endorphins.*
We need to spend *30 minutes exercising* every day, read or *watch funny 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, a house, the latest gadgets, a *new house* so forth. In each instance, it *releases Dopamine* and we become happy.
Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?
*The third hormone Serotonin* is released when we *act in a way that benefits others.*
When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or *to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.* Even,
providing useful information on the internet like *writing information* blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or *Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.*
That is *because* we will use our *precious time to help other* people via our answers or articles.
*The final hormone is Oxytocin,*
is released *when* we become *close to other human* beings.
When we *hug our friends* or family *Oxytocin is released.*
The *"Jadoo Ki Jhappi"* from Munnabhai *does really work.*
Similarly, when we *shake hands* or put our *arms around* someone's shoulders, various amounts of *Oxytocin is released.*
So, it is simple, we have to *exercise every day* to get *Endorphins,*
we have to *accomplish* little *goals* and get *Dopamine,*
we *need to* be *nice* to others to *get Serotonin* and
finally *hug our kids,*
friends, and families to *get Oxytocin* and we will *be happy.*
*When we are happy, we can deal* with our challenges and *problems better.*
Now, we can understand *why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.*
So in order to feel more and more *happy* day by day ...
1.*Motivate ourselves to play and have some fun*
*-Endorphins*
2. *Appreciate others* for any small or big achievements
*-Dopamine*
3. *Inculcate sharing* habit through you to others
*-Serotonin*
4. *Hug* your family, friends......
*-Oxytocin*
*Have a Happy Life*. 😊😄🙏
The donkey said to the tiger:
- "The grass is blue."
The tiger replied:
- "No, the grass is green."
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit it to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Even before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied:
- "Right, the grass is blue."
The donkey rushed over and continued:
- "The tiger does not agree with me and contradicts me and annoys me, please chastise him."
The king then declared:
- "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."
The donkey jumped happily and went on its way, content and repeating:
- "The grass is blue"...
The tiger accepted his punishment, but first asked the lion:
- "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."
The lion replied:
- "In fact, the grass is green."
The tiger asked:
- "Then why are you punishing me?"
The lion replied:
- "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that don't make sense... There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not able to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and the only thing they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are priceless.
