Many of the things we do each day contribute to our sense of wellness by releasing feel-good chemicals, or neurotransmitters, in our bodies. Our “inner feel-good factory” can help us stay motivated to cope with our problems and create the lives we want.

Some people don’t realize that we have access to our own inner feel good factory.

Activity steps
  1. Watch the Our inner feel-good factory video.
  2. Working in pairs, small groups or individually, explore and discuss the contents of the Inner feel-good factory handout. Debrief together or in pairs
Reflect and discuss
  • Review the chart below and check off the feel-good activities you do regularly.
    • How do you feel about the number of feel-good activities you’re already doing?
    • Would you like to do more?
    • Which ones would be easy to add to your routine?
  • Use the back of this sheet to map out a plan for doing more feel-activities in the coming following week. Share your plan with a partner.
