Molecules with group name neurotransmitters act as your nervous system’s current.

These molecules transmit signals and messages from one nerve cell to the next. In this way, a message can move from one part of the body to another.

Each neurotransmitter speaks its own language and is responsible for triggering specific emotions.

Some neurotransmitters are responsible for positive, happy even euphoric emotions – some for a relaxed, calm and quiet feelings – others for motivation, focus even an intense mindset.

How you experience emotions and how you feel is dictated by these neurotransmitters.

Too much or too little of the various neurotransmitters leads to an imbalance in your emotional state.

For example, too little serotonin will lead to lack of joy and low self-esteem, where too much dopamine will lead to “ticks” and arrogant, ruthless actions.

The production of neurotransmitters is constantly changing to meet the demands of the internal and external environmental. Eg. night requires calm, and calls for the feel calm neuros, in the morning we need the stimulating and motivating, and needs the feel good, feel excited neuros, etc.
