Trick your mind to feel happier
Hello, Everyone! Hope you are having a great day!
Welcome to the Day 2 of the "Happiness for all, Together" Event.
When we are happy, we smile, we laugh. A simple act of smiling makes our facial muscles say that we are happy which in turn helps our brain in seeing the world around us in a positive way. We know that Dopamine is a hormone released by our brain which increases our feelings of happiness and Serotonin release is associated with reducing stress. That is why it is possible to trick our brain into feeling happier by a simple act of smiling. Even if it is a fake smile.
"Think Happy, Be Happy."
Another way of tricking your mind into feeling happier is to have a ‘Happy Place’. It is a place where you feel safe and happy no matter what is going on around you. It is quiet around the chaos. Everyone’s ‘Happy Place’ is different. It may be listening to a particular album to tune out, starting a movie marathon, reading a particular book, taking a walk in a park, working in your studio, etc. Hence, a ‘Happy Place’ is the perfect safe place for your mind to trick your brain into feeling happier.
"Laughter is the best medicine."
Question: What is your ‘Happy Place’?

My happy place is being out in nature. I love walking, hiking and running in the outdoors. A nice forest with a stream or a good view of the rolling hills where my town is located. Very pretty this time of year!

What is your ‘Happy Place’?
I used to have a physical place in my grandma's old back yard. . . there was a creek. I used to love go back there for escape. However we lost the house after she died and I missed that place.
Mentally I have one, but it's hard to get there. Music helps, but my uncle's negativity really pulls me down.
Hello @Rebekahwriter13
That sounds like a lovely place to visit and now escape to, filled with happy memories from the past. It's tough when your happy place gets taken away and gets filled with negative energy. Remember to trick your mind into feeling happier when you visit your happy place in your memory next time!
Have a beautiful day ahead!
