Have you ever experienced the kind of hug, where it felt like you melted into the other person's body, and felt a sense of calm overcome you? If so, you're lucky, and here is the reason why...

Hugs stimulate the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of happiness, calmness, and well-being. This "feel-good" hormone plays a crucial role in mood regulation, sleep, and can even help alleviate feelings of sadness and depression. Beyond serotonin, hugs also trigger the release of oxytocin and dopamine, further contributing to positive emotions and reduced stress. So hug someone today!!!!

Pleasure vs. Happiness. There IS a difference.

Also interesting is....Serotonin down regulates dopamine and vice versa...Therefore, the more happiness that you have the less "temporary" pleasure is experienced or... the more pleasure you experience the less likely you are to experience long term happiness.
