The Helper's High

The "helper's high" refers to the positive feelings and sense of well-being that people often experience after helping others. When you assist someone, your brain releases chemicals like endorphins and oxytocin, which boost your mood and reduce stress. This natural chemical response creates feelings of happiness, satisfaction, and even a sense of connection. Essentially, helping others not only benefits those in need but also promotes your own emotional health, making you feel good both emotionally and physically.
