| Just a cool fall photo |
I was reading the October 2014 issue of Best Health magazine and there was an article by Susan Biali on 'the chemistry of happiness'. I won't go into the details of the body chemicals involved (dopamine, oxytocin, etc.) but if we didn't know it already, listening to music you love, daily exercise, eating right, carbohydrates, lots of hugs, a hot bath, meditation can all be used to induce happiness.

Lovely photo! I am sure all those things contribute to feeling well and happy. Valerie
ReplyDeleteAll good things to induce happiness!
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of natural ways to get your mood up a little because as you said there's a surprising amount of chemistry involved. I like good people and good music to lift up my spirits.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! When I am out taking pictures, I am happy :)
ReplyDeleteA good reminder. Self-care is so easy to set aside when life whirls you away... :)
ReplyDeletemakes it all sound so simple, lol,
ReplyDeleteInteresting and so true.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we all be happy?
Love your photo! And yes, I try to be good and do those things often. But sometimes I get sidetracked...
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Those are great things to remember, thank you! Painting larger is in some ways easier, but it does take more time. Sometime if you want you should give it a try...
ReplyDeleteSuch nice peaceful photograph.
ReplyDeleteAnd laughing. She forgot laughing. It's the best.
ReplyDeleteI agree that these things can really help immensely!! Also, pets :)
ReplyDeleteThe very simple joys in life make me the happiest.
