Neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, GABA, oxytocin, and endorphins play key roles in regulating mood, motivation, social connection, and stress ✨

Research shows that simple daily habits can support the natural release of these neurotransmitters, helping you feel calmer, happier, and more motivated.
