So you give yourself a good mood
sleep deprivation
Good feeling: Maybe you have ever experienced how exciting it can be to dance the night away. Or stay awake for a while to read an exciting novel. Voluntary sleep deprivation (not to be confused with involuntary insomnia) is even used in the treatment of clinical depression.Important: Make sure that you experience being awake, for example, by making yourself very comfortable. In this condition, the stimulant norepinephrine is released. It also stimulates the body's own valium - the endovalium. It has a relaxing and anxiolytic effect. And serotonin brightens the mood.
Good for anyone whose mood is in the basement or who have been baffled by a problem. Often new solutions emerge after such awake states.
To breathe
Ingeniously simple: Sit upright and breathe in and out a few times. Proper breathing keeps the production of our messengers in the Lot or brings them in case of failure again in the balance. You will feel more awake, because in everyday life we often breathe too shallow (especially in case of stress), and this is depleted in the long run. Tip: If you want to profit even more from this method, look for a respiratory therapist.
Good for those who need to work concentrated throughout the day. You can do breathing exercises anywhere, anytime, even if you are traveling a lot for work.
spontaneity
Pleasure principle: Enjoy a cup of tea in peace, go shopping again quickly. Do what you feel like, no matter what the to-do list for the day or what others expect of you! More often break the routine. Feel free to let feelings like anger or anger out. Because when we live out our moods, adrenalin is mobilized. On the other hand, if we adapt excessively or control ourselves constantly, we dampen the hormonal processes in our body.
Good for those who find everyday life to be dull and want to get going. Spontaneity can set the complicated interplay of hormonal processes in motion again.
imagination
Close your eyes and go: Imagine a gentle landscape that you like to remember, a rolling cornfield or a wonderful sunset. The image you are focusing on releases corresponding messenger substances: the gentle landscape, for example Endovalium, which harmonises and balances the mood. If you need something stimulating, then you should think intensively about a summer storm that stimulates the production of adrenaline.
Good for those who have a strong imagination. And in between times need relaxation or stimulation, because the method works everywhere.
biorhythm
Do you know your biorhythm? If not, take an inventory with the help of a "bio-diary": For a few days, make a note of the times you slept, worked, relaxed, ate, exercised, etc. - and how you each felt , After finding out what is good for you and what is not, try to organize your daily routine according to your biorhythm. This balances fluctuations in messenger substances (eg serotonin, melatonin and cortisol).
Good for those who want to get to know their body and needs better.
Creative brainstorming
Start unhindered: Alone at home or with colleagues in the job - express unfiltered, which thoughts and ideas are just going through your head. Brainstorm completely free or on a specific topic - no matter, synonymous blödeln is okay. If you do it alone: Write down your ideas, band them or paint them. The free flow of thought stimulates the impulse norepinephrine, the dopamine (motivates positive emotions) and acetylcholine; This substance controls all our movements and is important for the memory functions (Alzheimer's sufferers have a deficit of acetylcholine).
Good for those who want to remain mentally fit and flexible. And who need an unobtrusive method in between.
Sensory overload
Main thing violently: A hot talk or a lively argument, a rousing rock concert or a thrilling football game - strong stimulation increases adrenaline and norepinephrine levels. These stress hormones have been ensuring for ages that we can respond to threats in a flash. We are highly focused, in the right mood and in a good mood.
Good for those who want to recharge their batteries without spending too much.
meditation
Happiness on call: By consciously breathing, looking at objects or listening to music you exclude all disturbing environmental stimuli and thus get into a state of limbo between consciousness and sleep. Above all, dopamine is mobilized. It controls our emotional and motor drive and promotes concentration.Relaxing endorphins or "happiness hormones" are also activated.
Good for those who feel rushed or unfocused. Important: practice.
Autogenic training
Puzzle: Autosuggestive formulas or phrases ("My right arm is heavy") help to concentrate better and reduce stress or tension. The good mood hormone serotonin is stimulated as well as the body's tranquilizer Endovalium, various happiness hormones (endorphins) and melatonin (characterizes our biorhythm).
Good for those who can not switch off properly.
sex
Relish: Sex powerfully boosts the production of messengers in every form. Skin contact, caresses, caressing each other, kisses generate after a short time an oxytocin flood in the body. And that awakens caring feelings and protective instincts, we become friendlier and more generous in dealing with others. A high level of oxytocin gives us a pleasure like in a rush, with orgasm the level of the messenger substance jumps to record height. Also activated are various endorphins (happiness hormones) and dopamine, which promotes our creativity.
Good for everyone.
