Doing something you like makes you feel joy. And it’s important to feel this because it’s easy to get trapped in our routines where we forget, or ignore the things in our life that makes us feel good. And feeling pleasure or joy releases dopamine in our brains which is an essential neurotransmitter to our mental health. So pursue joy whenever you can mum, it’s important!

And getting my nails done, is an example of building joy for me - I feel relaxed, confident and ready for anything. Why?! Well apart for the fact that my nails look AMAZING (shout-out to mobster Eve, founder of @quiet_rebel_nails ) there’s also some science to it because touch actually induces oxytocin release. And the release of oxytocin improves wellbeing and reduces stress, over time. But there’s more. Oxytocin also causes the release of another neurotransmitter–dopamine, and that’s a feel-good hormone. 

So there you go. Build joy by getting your nails done - it works for me! 

We’re on the pursuit for what gives us joy and why 🙌because in order to build up, you need to build YOU, and knowing and understanding what brings you joy is key to that.

So how do you build joy? Tell us in the comments 👇👇
