4. You will be happier
The human body has the capacity to release hormones that make our lives happier. These are called happy hormones.
Basically, there are 4 happy hormones that the body can release to enhance the feelings of pleasure and well-being.
- Dopamine: This hormone makes us feel good and gives intense pleasure.
- Serotonin: This hormone reduces depression and plays a major role in getting rid of anxiety.
- Oxytocin: Oxytocin releases feelings of intimacy and affection.
- Endorphins: These hormones increase the levels of happiness and help to deal with physical pain.
These 4 hormones are generally released when you think positively, work out regularly, and express love and affection towards loved ones.
So you can see how thinking positive thoughts will make you happier, fulfilled, and satisfied in life.

Positive thinking people generally have a very healthy self-image. They don’t think of themselves too highly, nor do they think too lowly. They are at peace with who they are and how they look.
Many people have issues with how they look, how they sound, and how others perceive them. It consumes their thinking and leads to anxiety and negativity.
Positive people don’t give much thought to how others perceive them. They are happy when others appreciate and acknowledge them. But they also don’t bother about critics and fault-finders.
They know how to navigate positive as well as negative situations with ease and calm.
