LIFE HACK: How to Jack Your Brain Full Of Happiness Chemicals

It’s a fact, the most powerful drugs are most by your own brain.

Serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins are all chemicals your brain makes that, in a sense, get you high.

Here now, are some ways to jack your brain full of happy juice without a trip to the street corner or a drug store.

Dopamine has been called the “reward chemical.” Most people get their fix through likes on social media, making them social media addicts. You can get dopamine by taking care of yourself - by making time to groom yourself or cleaning your room. You can get it by finishing tasks, big or small. Even planning to cook a meal and executing it can load you up with dopamine.

Oxytocin, called the love hormone by some, is another natural way to get high. You can get it by playing with a dog or a baby, hugging your family, or even giving someone else genuine praise and appreciation for how much you love them or what they do.

Endorphins, the pain killer you generate naturally, are a byproduct of going to the gym and working out, watching a comedy, or even munching on dark chocolate. Now you know why the girl you broke up with started eating ice cream and watching chick flicks.

Serotonin, the mood stabilizer, is in way too short a supply for many. Boost your serotonin by walking outside in the sun, going for a hike through nature, or even meditating.

Get high on life bro!
