Welcome To Awakening Aphrodite!
45. Creating Happy Brain Chemicals By Boosting Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphins
Loretta G. Breuning, PhD, is the Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. She is the author of many personal development books, including Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels, The Science of Positivity and Anxiety: What Turns It On and Turns It Off.
Our happy chemicals are not designed to flow all the time for no reason. They evolved to reward survival behavior. Don't think others are getting happy chemicals all the time-- they're not!
