FAQs
-
Why does retail therapy make people happy?
- To begin with, your brain releases happy hormones like Serotonin, Dopamine, and endorphins when you indulge in activities like shopping.
- Deciding what to buy and what not to buy gives you a sense of control over your environment, which can work wonders for your mood.
- Another advantage is positive visualisations — you looking stunning in that new dress, people envying your new bag, etc — which are good mood boosters.
- Shopping stimulates your senses and offers a welcome distraction from your routine existence.
- Last but not least, it encourages some amount of physical activity, which also makes you feel happier.
