“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another”
WILLIAM JAMES
To make it easier to remember the actions of the four hormones, we use a simple trick: remember the word “DOES.”
Dopamine – Motivation and Reward Balance
Dopamine fuels motivation by reinforcing goals, desire, and pleasure, giving us the drive to take action and move forward. It shapes how we pursue rewards, sustain focus, and experience satisfaction, playing a central role in our overall sense of engagement and vitality.

Oxytocin – The hormone of love and social bonds
