"Nourish your brain with love, gratitude, and laughter. It will reward you with happiness." - Unknown

If we think of it very simply, humans are like a mix of chemicals, that get triggered by our thoughts and re-mixed by our brains.

When we perceive something as a happy experience, we generate happy thoughts and our body mixes up and produces a happy chemical mix.

Happy hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, come out to play.

Never mind the long names, just think of them as happy chemicals produced by our bodies when we are happy

Below are a few ways to do it on purpose.
