Happy hormones


Are there happy hormones and sad hormones in our body?

Ya.

But sad hormones are nothing but the body not being able to produce certain essential hormones that eventually F#$Ks the body up. That's just sad.

More on happy hormones now,

Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Endorphins, Norepinephrine, Adrenalin


These are the so-called happy hormones, or hormones that seem to regulate our happiness.

When we exercise we release a mix of Endorphins and adrenaline into our bloodstream.

We start feeling like Jason Statham from the movie Crank.

Dopamine is released when we achieve something. Like right now I am feeling mini droplets of dopamine being registered in my brain as I finish writing each para each sentence each word.

Oxytocin is best described by the bonding of mother to her child. Even other mammals other than humans (the most greedy mammal) are said to be releasing oxytocin.

Serotonin, contrary to popular belief is actually produced in the stomach rather than the mind.

Norepinephrine is the building of new neurons in our brain when a task is repeated again and again.

Disclaimer: I am not a neuroscientist, all this I only read at several places on the internet

Caution: Happy hormones need to be regulated, if not fatigue and perceived tiredness override the circuits.

Do some people have more happy hormones than the rest?

Yes, they do. Genes.

How to have a steady supply of happy hormones?

Instructions:

Copy paste that line onto google,

Find 2-3 sustainable activities from the list. In my case its weight lifitng, meditating and guzzling proteins.

Do the said 2-3 activities.

Be aware: Mind likes to feel happy through instant gratification rather than long term good habits. The XXX industry is thriving  because of that

The best way to remember what you have read

Looking at the stack of books piled up on the study shelf, I am left to wonder, gosh! How much of the things I have read do I ACTUALLY remember? Curbing the existential anxiety, I guess the best way to remember what you have read is to show a keen interest in what you are reading. In the moment, how in tune are you with the words that you gleen over. Is the author making sense? Are you able to connect with the printed ink? Are you circling around some lines more often trying to relate it with previous readings Otherwise, why read that stuff in the first place. The above line is both a lesson in rigid thinking and hyper-practical. I am a habitual reader and a habitual forgetter. Forgetting things all the time gives me used to give me a sour sense of remorse. And then one day, over a conversation with a friend, he suggests, why don't you instead think of it as "You learn something new every time, every day". he then goes to add, "Fine! You may not rememb...

A Rhythm to do stuff

is the most important thing is the best that can happen Is what every self-help article will ever suggest you to do. I do not wish to be a whistleblower of sorts when I say this. But that's just my gut instinct. They why is it so tough? It is because in the age we live in instant gratification is given top most priority. Our brains shun the repetitiveness of things, claiming "what's the point!" That's where the 'Why, I started this' question becomes important. 4 years ago, on a cozy Sunday afternoon, I had decided to go to the gym and do something about my body. On the way, I remember getting bombarded by my inner voice "Dude, you don't know anything, what will you even do there" "You will injure yourself" "Treadmill? what if it's already taken?" Funny enough, none of those things happened, except for the treadmill being taken. But, I still worked out. Rusty form, no idea what I was doin...
