9. Get or give a hug.
Hugs release a number of feel-good chemicals in the brain, including oxytocin, which helps us develop bonds. Find someone you love (or at least someone you can tolerate) and ask for a hug.
10. Talk to a loved one.
You can stimulate the release of the same chemicals just by talking to someone you love. Consider calling or sending a text to a spouse, a relative, or a close friend when you feel overwhelmed during the day.
Hearing back from them can immediately make you feel better.
