Cafe Analog x Suzy’s Craftery – ‘Serotonine, The Happy Hormone’ stamp

Last May ’22 we had a ‘Design your own Stamp – Challenge‘ to celebrate 5 happy years of Cafe Analog with our customers.

One of these designs stuck with me, because this Happy Hormone Serotonine* (or rather the lack of it) is not an unknown one in my personal life, also because the designer (Suzanne Saridogan) is a Psychologist and dear friend out of our journal community, and lastly, because we both think this is a very cool molecule to stamp your journal with.

So we had a batch of these made , in green rubber and wood; ‘Increase your Serotonin!‘

We hope this stamp will help you as a reminder of taking good care of yourself, for example by journaling, which can be seen as a form of meditation as well. Hopefully it makes you more happy and calm!

*Serotonin is a neurotransmitter. It carries messages between nerve cells in your brain and throughout your body. Serotonin plays several roles in your body, including influencing learning, memory, happiness, as well as regulating body temperature, sleep, sexual behavior and hunger. Related to mood, it is often called your body's natural 'feel good' chemical. With normal levels of serotonin you feel emotionally more stable, happier and calmer. Ways to increase serotonin in a natural way is by exercise, meditation, sunlight, enough sleep and a healthy diet.
