The oxytocin and dopamine reflection prompts ask learners to turn broad self-care ideas into a clear plan, including what they will do, where and when they will do it, and who may be involved. Happy Chemicals Self-Care Worksheet Pack introduces dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins through everyday mood-boosting activities, making it a practical wellbeing handout for teenagers, young people and adults.
It gives people a simple way to identify realistic actions that may support positive feelings, motivation, connection and relaxation during the week. The pack groups familiar experiences under four commonly searched wellbeing terms: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins, also known as the happy chemicals.
A quick-reference activity page links dopamine with completing tasks, self-care, small wins and goals; oxytocin with pets, affection, compliments and kindness; serotonin with meditation, swimming, time outdoors and mindfulness; and endorphins with laughter, exercise, dark chocolate and funny films. These examples can help users choose activities that suit their own routines.
Two fuller reflection sheets focus on oxytocin, described as the love hormone, and dopamine, described as the reward hormone. Each includes a brief explanation followed by an open-ended planning question that encourages specific detail. Sample answers model how to make an achievable plan, such as arranging regular time with a friend or breaking a home task into manageable steps.
The printable self-care worksheet pack is most suited to school wellbeing sessions with teens and teenagers, pastoral or counselling work with young people, and adults using structured self-reflection at home. A teacher, youth worker, therapist or support worker could use the pages for a discussion starter, a one-to-one session, or a personalised weekly wellbeing plan.
