Your brain produces happy chemicals which reward you with good feelings. Taking good care of your physical, mental, and emotional health increases these chemicals.
Sufficient sleep, nutrition, and exercise help us feel good. Favorite foods and special treats like chocolate are known to boost our mood. Running, even walking, swimming, dancing, and sports can add to our feelings of happiness.
Social bonding and cuddling with people or pets make our brain feel good. Massage can reduce stress and create a feel-good state.
Meditation and other relaxation techniques are helpful. Some people get a boost participating in religious rituals. Music also has it's charms.
Feeling self-confident, practicing positive thinking, and accomplishing goals make our brain happy. Laughter can produce those happy chemicals. Gratitude also works.
Be aware that some unhealthy habits can also produce these chemicals temporarily but in the end, can cause unhappiness or worse.
Do whatever it takes to help your brain function toward happiness. Also, create happiness in the lives of others which benefits them and yourself.
