A Mindful Life…
Living a mindful life is no easy feat! There are so many things you can do to make major and minor changes to your lifestyle, however, it can all be so overwhelming.
As you’re trying to make all these different positive changes you end up facing the harsh reality that life doesn’t stop! Next thing you know, your pocket is stuck in a door handle and you’ve spilled coffee all over yourself.
Oh boy…
Even if life is throwing punches at you, remember that it truly is a ride. There are ups and downs and there can be no good without the bad. Today, we take a dive into changes to everyday life we think everyone can do! #LiveYourBestLife
Let’s start first with Happiness Chemicals, and how we recommend implementing them.
Dopamine: The Reward Chemical
A type of neurotransmitter and hormone. It plays a role in many important body functions including movement, memory, pleasurable reward and motivation.
What we recommend:
Completing a task
Partaking in self-care activities (Maybe some skincare?)
Eating yummy food
Celebrating the little wins
Oxytocin: The Love Hormone
A hormone and neurotransmitter associated with empathy, trust and relationship-building. Sometimes called the ‘love hormone’ because levels of oxytocin increase during hugging!
What we recommend:
Holding hands with loved ones
Hugging friends and family
Playing with a pet
Giving compliments to others
Serotonin: The Mood Stabiliser
A chemical that carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout your body. It plays a crucial role in body functions such as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing and bone health.
What we recommend:
Meditating
A walk in nature (don’t forget your SPF!!!!!)
Exercise
Endorphins: The Pain Killer
They act as analgesics, which means they diminish the perception of pain and act as sedatives. Manufactured in your brain, spinal cord and many other parts of your body, they are released to make you feel happy and reduce physical pain.
Hacks:
Laughter exercise
Watch a comedy
Dark chocolate (yum!)
