In the stressful world we live in, it's essential to find ways to stimulate your natural, feel-good chemicals!
D.O.S.E: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins and are like a dose of happiness and motivation that you can activate daily.
Here are some simple ways to keep these neurochemicals flowing:
DOPAMINE : The Reward hormone
🎯 Set achievable goals: When you succeed with a task, your brain releases dopamine. Start small and gradually challenge yourself.
🏆 Celebrate wins: Acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small they may seem, like a to-do list completion.
💡 Novel experiences: Explore new hobbies, places, or activities. Seek adventure!
OXYTOCIN: The Love Hormone
👨👩👧👦 Social bonds: Sharing moments and experiences with family and friends fosters trust and oxytocin release.
💝 Acts of kindness: Helping others randomly and showing empathy promotes a sense of connection.
❤️ Hug: Physical touch, such as hugging, cuddling, or even holding hands, can release oxytocin. Connect with loved ones, boost your sex-life!
SEROTONIN: The Mood Stabilizer
🌞 Sunlight: Soak up some sunshine. Even on cloudy days, natural light boosts serotonin levels and helps regulate your mood.
🍇 Eat Healthily: Consume foods rich in tryptophan, such as turkey, eggs, and nuts. Additionally, complex carbohydrates like whole grains and fruits increase serotonin availability in the brain.
🧘♀️ Meditation: Practice mindfulness and meditation to counter stress and anxiety and enhance serotonin levels.
ENDORPHINS: The Natural Painkiller
🏃♀️ Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity. Even a short walk or quick workout can release endorphins and boost your mood.
😂 Laughter: Laugh with friends or watch a funny movie. “Friends” works well for me!
🎶 Music and dance: Music has the power to lift your spirits. I love to listen to my favourite clubbing playlists and dance like nobody's watching...
