Communication & Influencing
Happy chemicals
Author
Are there really happy chemicals in our brain?
Dopamine
Otherwise known as the reward hormone is released when the brain experiences a sense of achievement or recognition.
Serotonin
Serotonin levels rise when people feel valued, a sense of respect and purpose. At safe levels they help teams and relationships.
Oxytocin
This affects communication and how people feel about each other, showing genuine interest in others is a powerful skill.
Endorphins
These are released through physical exercise, getting the tasks you are avoiding done and humour, create the feel good factor!
The way in which we communicate with ourselves and others affects the chemicals that our brains release.
