“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕР ВЕНЬ 2020 WWW. UNWLA.ORG 33 HOW YOUR BRA IN CREATES HAPPINESS by Ihor Magun, MD, FACP You know that unmistakable feeling when you have it. It gives you a sensation of warmth, joy and euphoria. That feeling is happiness. But have you ever wondered what makes us feel that way? The an swer is br ain chemicals, specificall y four chemicals t hat drive positive emotions we feel throughout the day. These chemicals are oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. Understanding these chemicals (now more than ever) can make us more aware of ho w to maxim ize their effect and improve our level of h appiness and well - being. Oxytocin is commonly referred to as the “hugging hormone,” primarily because the brain releases it during actual physical contact with others. It is also referred to as the “lo ve hormone ” because it provides feelings of calmness, contentment and security, all associated with mate bonding. But levels of oxytocin can be increased in other ways: working with others, sharing a meal together, or giving a gift to someone and witnessin g the rece iver’s positive response. Hugging, although currently not recommended except with obvious exceptions, provides a boost of oxytocin to the receiver as well as the giver. Dopamine is a biological neurotransmitter that is related to pleasure and eu phoria. It is known as the “feel good” hormone and is associated with pleasurable sensations. Nearly all pleasurable experiences from eating a good meal to having sex involves the release of dopamine. Although dopamine is associated with happiness and ple asure, ser otonin regulates our mood. It is released in the dynamics of satisfaction about an achievement and/or pride in our work. We experience this feeling when we get recognition from others and when we have a personal sense of accomplishment. It mo tivates us to excel and grow, providing positive emot ions of happiness and satisfaction. Surround yourself with individuals who provide support and recognize your efforts, and your levels of serotonin will soar. Endorphins are hormones that are released i n response to pain — including the pain that can occur after starting an exercise routine. When you exercise, endorphins are released in your brain and trigger a positive feeling coupled with a reduction of pain perception. This promotes a unique feeling of happiness and reduces the negative effects of stress. This effect may also enhance serotonin levels because the feeling of accomplishing something positive for our health and well - being is simultaneously achieved. This quartet of neurotransmitters all co ntribute t o our happiness and well being. The only th ing you need to do is to choose to be happy with who you are right now, do things that make you happy or bring you happiness. So make a decision to spend and share time with people who bring out the best in you. B e proactive: Use the power of the quartet of neurotransmitters, and you will be on your way! The purpose of our lives is to be happy. – Dalai Lama Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be. – Abraham Lincoln __________________________________________ _________________________ На літо — до бабусі Зранених школою дітей від дають на реабілітацію до бабусь... Тримісячна терапія котами, полуницею, запопадливою турботою, молоком, борщами і смаколиками. Прогулянки між травами, геліотерапія, іпотерапія, апітерапія, запахотерапія і ще з добрий десяток терапій, котрі затягують подряпини шкільної екзистенції на ніжних шкірах дітлахів. Секрет бабциного методу, як професійного психоаналітика, у регресії в дитинство. Вони віднімають 5 р оків від реального віку дитини та пов одяться з ними відповідно: 15 - річний підліток стає десятирічним, а 8 - річний — дошкільнятком. — Васильку, зіч зупки трошки. На ше чайочку. Загріти? Не совайся на табуретці, бо впадеш. Че кай, я тобі виберу кісточки з м’яса. Бабці оточують дітей безумовною лю бов ’ ю у три шари, без оглядки на виховання та іншу педагогіку. І на малих бахурах всьо заживає як на соба ч ці. Бо бабця — це останній бастіон, за який ще не проник фемінізм. Взагалі, при бабці того слова ліпше не кажіт ь . Бо можна і по писку схопити.
