There is nothing like the joy of canceled plans—and science backs this up!
There is psychological and neuroscientific research that explains the happiness or relief people feel when plans get canceled, especially when they were socially obligated rather than genuinely desired.

When we dodge an unwanted commitment, our brain releases:
🧠 dopamine (reward)
🧠 serotonin (contentment)
🧠 endorphins (stress relief)
🧠 while lowering cortisol (stress hormone)

That relief isn’t just in your head—it’s your brain’s way of saying “you needed a break”!

But if this happens often, it might be a sign to set better boundaries and say yes only to what truly aligns with you. ✨
