Best scientific video I've ever seen! Thank you

Excellent presentation! :) And, I would add: We can also change our brain and body chemistry from stress chemicals to endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine simply by thinking about something or someone we love. And, the more you practice doing that (just like physical exercise), the more your brain and body become conditioned to producing those "happy chemicals" - and the easier it becomes, to overcome emotional triggers. :)
