Page 8 - Section B: Understanding the Brain. Part 6a Feel Good Chemicals

These ‘feel good chemicals’ are released

when:

▪ We feel connected to others and part of a group

▪ We feel cared for and liked

▪ We feel capable and good at stuff

▪ We feel that we matter and are important

▪ We feel energised through high exercise,

laughing or excitement

This happens when we score a goal, learn a

new skateboard trick, laugh at a comedy film or enjoy a kick

around with friends.
