Louis the best way to get 100% happyness , is to make total submission to you creator ,to your GOD , to your Allah, the most Marcyfull ,the most patients, the ever leaving, which has no beginning and no ending. He is the one who gaves you the life, and you will return to ward him in one day.

[@Tingtong-gg5oe]

A warm shower twice a day should be added to the list.

[@sohaalmollah1788]

@@shakircaqil4753 Salam... I was surprised to see you here !!! I was going to mention the same thing you mentioned. They always forget Allah. I just made a research to prove that listening to Quraan and understand what we read is the best way to increase Oxytocin in our body and this is how we bond with him then with the others because this hormone increases the happiness, faith, trust etc... in human brain and this is why God mentioned in the Quraan that Moms must breastfeed their babies for 2 years if the baby still interested in nursing. This is one of the reasons why families in poor countries has more bonding with eachothers than those who call them selves the first world hmmmmm really !! Because mothers in these countries shove a bottles in their babies mouth filled with manufactured milk starting from day one which doesn't contain oxytocin that help the mother and her baby bond now in the future add to the that no DNA information found in a baby who didn't nurse from his Mom.. it means their kids will act differently than their parents. Salam. لا اله الا الله محمدا رسول الله.

social media is one of the primary reason for dopamine problems avoid those as much as you can, better try to socialize in real life via clubs, events...etc

Praise & worship raises oxcytocin. Being surrounded by those you love or who love you raises it too. Good company matters. Finding new inspiration and something that will help you be excited for the day raises it.

[@hairstoryinc]

as a mother one way i increase mine is to say to my son three times a day "did i tell u i love you today" my son replies everytime noòo and i shout "i love you more than????" we do this every morning when i collect him from school and before bed

[@MichaelUnks]

That's beautiful, Leslie. Thanks for sharing!

Hey mike what drugs and supplements Can I take........

[@TheGizzle85]

Furryz I'm not a doctor. L-tyrosine, 5-htp, magnesium, turmeric, and potassium, super-foods (powdered veggies and fruits), isolate protein, and good multi-vitamin. Sleep on a schedule even during off days. Walk, run, or light jog BEFORE breakfast. Once insulin is in the body, hgh stops producing. Always talk to your doctor before using any of the recommendations as I do not know your current health. Be well

Can you direct me to your sources for the effects of meditation on oxytocin?

[@MichaelUnks]

Of Course. I first came across it in an article in Psychology Today, by Dr. Paul Zak. Here is the link...www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-moral-molecule/201311/the-top-10-ways-boost-good-feelings I also looked at an article by Jillian Pransky..The article is here..yogadork.com/2014/09/22/metta-meditation-a-blend-of-imagery-intention-and-observation-that-can-change-your-life/ Lastly, the 8 second hold and breathe out wasn't researched in depth, I just heard author James Altucher mention it and it worked well for me. Hope this answers your question! -Michael

[@ishitanigam2310]

Quinn Conklin no doubt all these 13 ways work but personally for me the Sudarshan kriya meditation has been most effective in helping me increase my oxytocin levels and living a better , stress free life.

I think I'm oxytocin deficient..I can't fall in love no matter what if I'm.seeing a guy I don't really care or connect to him I always want someone new I don't hurt when I'm dropping the person..I don't connect on. a deep.level no matter how hard I try..could this be a cause of absence of parents in my childhood?

[@MichaelUnks]

Ilona Wojdyla, could it be that you aren't fully vulnerable in your relationships, so you don't risk being hurt? I just read one of Brene Brown's book on vulnerability and I think you may get value from it.

Dr. Michael Unks Social media causes depression bro?

[@zendavis3501]

Galushka21 The reason you can't believe it is because its untrue. It actually causes depression.

[@MichaelUnks]

I agree with you, but it depends on how you use it. Bren'e brown compares social media to a fire...you can either use it to keep you warm and nourish you, or burn the barn down. Not the best way to raise oxytocin

[@kyleram2649]

Dr. Michael Unks great way of putting it, I was listening to a ted a talk and someone said social media realises that Quick hit of dopamines ? Is this a good thing or bad thing. I’ve been dealing with anxiety for about 8 months so I’ve reaching different methods of reducing it. So I was going to have a break from it as sometimes I’m quite addicted to it.

[@ivanperez3378]

Hey Michael I have a question, I have a crush and We worked together for at least 5 years, (now she’s in a different department) but i see her sometimes or rarely, if i see her at the bar, what can I say specifically to higher her oxytocin towards me? Like we don’t text or talk on the phone and she knows I have a crush on her and shes nicer to me then anybody but is there any specific words I can say to her or any action I can do to make her really like me and give me a chance to make her fall in love with me?

[@MichaelUnks]

ivan perez, What I’ve found in my experience is women are attracted to confidence. I don’t believe you have to say any special words. I’d say just ask her out while be direct. I’m guessing you know what she likes to do with her spare time or what movies she likes. Just say something like, “I know you like this, want to go with me on this day?” I’ve made the mistake of overthinking when it comes to women and it sounds like you are too lol. Be courageous, be direct, and just go for it! Please let me know how it goes.

[@ivanperez3378]

Thank you very much Michael I will let you know how it goes👍 nice presentation I love it!

[@MichaelUnks]

ivan perez looking forward to hearing how it goes! Remember, regardless of the outcome you’re facing what you’re afraid of and going for it, it will make you more courageous, and you’ll need that courage in the future when you face bigger fears

Great question. So what brought.e to your video initially was a desire to learn more of how oxytocin relates to storytelling. Going forward I'm not sure. Now, I haven't looked through more of your videos yet, although in the description i did see the quantum heartbeat campaign, which I can totally resonate with. I'll look through a couple more vids and we'll see. 😊

[@Cardinals_garden]

Michael Unks the problem is that I love someone that I recently met I never had that type of love for my wife

[@MichaelUnks]

george p, That is definately something I'd pray about or meditate on if you're not a believer..Could it be possible, you love this other women because she's new and exciting compared to your wife? Also is it possible that you could love your wife if you start to see the positive sides of her instead of what you don't like? I'm doing whatever I can to help you, buddy, but this situation you're in will take some deep thought

[@Cardinals_garden]

Michael Unks know! I have an excellent wife but I fall in love with this new and younger girl. My wife is good looking and everything but I tend to love bad, independent women or maybe is because my wife love me so much that I feel that she will be always there for me.

[@MichaelUnks]

george p I think you're on the right track..Maybe since you believe that she'll always be there you take her for granted. Just like if you have dozens of cookies in your pantry..you have so many of them so you don't desire them, but if there was only one, or none you would be craving a cookie lol. This will be a choice you have to make, but have you considered discussing this with your wife? She may appreciate your openeness and you might grow closer as a couple because of it

Another thing I've realized is that you are the love you've been seeking. It's been depressing feeling no one loves me. But I have learned just to share love with others and let God's love be all the love I need. Just trying to be honest and helpful, my friend, don't know your religious beliefs, but I feel I can relate with how you feel
