Finding balance in various aspects of life—like managing stress, eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep—can help unlock those "blissful hormones." Hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin are linked to feelings of happiness and well-being, and factors like balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, social connections, and relaxation influence them.
For example, exercise helps release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers and mood boosters. Mindfulness or relaxation practices can increase serotonin and reduce stress hormones like cortisol, creating a more balanced emotional state. So, discovering equilibrium in life can contribute to feeling happier and more balanced overall!
