The society of Happy People identified 31 types of Happiness to help us realise how many happy moments are already part of your day.
Happiness is the feeling that washes over you when you experience positive emotions, interactions, or events. The brain responds to positive stimuli by releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, sometimes known as ‘happy hormones’.
Some activities that trigger your brain to release happy hormones
EXERCISE
DANCING
MEDITATING
TIME OUTDOORS
LAUGHING
EATING YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS
LISTENING TO MUSIC
SPENDING TIME WITH ANIMALS
