that I need more of them. that my hormones are probably out of balance/not regulated well

happy hormones are things like serotonin/dopamine etc.

HI. I am joining this thread for a refresher on dopamine, a factor in my ADHD.

You're on the right track! @Medicated

Balancing hormones is a great hack, but something I'd like to learn more about too 🙂

Our first happy hormone, the D in D.O.S.E. is Dopamine

Dopamine is part of the brain’s reward system and what gives you pleasurable sensations and keeps you coming back for more- like a bit of a motivational driver!

Released when expecting a reward. When an activity is associated with pleasure, anticipation alone can be enough to raise the level of dopamine!

Passing over to all of you: What ideas do you have about how you could harness dopamine? @Medicated @Shaz51 @Captain24 @7cough9 @amber22

We can get a boost of happy hormones through things like exercise 😄

I think it's important to give yourself little rewards for doing hard tasks and hopefully harness dopamine that way

Celebrating my small wins really helps my dopamine levels! And doing some self care really helps as well, it makes me feel like I am completing good things 🙂
