Get The Happiness Guide
Learn 6 easy ways to tap into your happiness hormones.
Stop worrying. It’s killing your happiness!
Low levels of happiness are associated with a whole host of negative side effects including a 47% reduction of sleep quality, higher risk of diabetes, lower immune system, digestive issues and high blood pressure. Constant unhappiness increases your cortisol levels in the body, and when left for a prolonged period of time can result in chronic stress and eventually, burnout.
A growing body of research has linked increased happiness with a longer life span and greater life satisfaction. It has additionally been found to improve physical health through boosting immune functioning, lowering blood pressure and reducing physical pain. Although once thought of as the product of genetics, biology and circumstance, there is mounting evidence to suggest that we have more control than we think.
You have more control than what you think.
You might be thinking, this all sounds great, but how do I implement this in my life?! We can actively increase our happiness with a few simple measures. Practices such as journaling, celebrating little wins, watching a comedy and giving a compliment are just a few, easy ways to increase our happiness.

Happiness chemicals aren’t a fad.
Our unique balance of neurochemicals has been disrupted by our modern lives, making us more prone to depression, anxiety and unhappiness. The four main chemicals in the brain that influence our happiness are dopamine, serotonin, endorphin and oxytocin. When stimulated, we experience responses such as intense reward, natural painkillers, lifted mood and feelings of love. Luckily for us, now we know how to boost them, we can tap back into these ancient biological benefits. Learn more on our blog 👇🏾
