Q What ideas do you have about how you could harness dopamine?

A I think the idea is to sequence activities , start with something that boost dopamine then follow it with something that is needed but lacks that native boost. So, dance to something upbeat, then dive into housework. It helps if it is at least a partially similar task e.g. two physically active ones.

Next, we have our third happy hormone, the S in D.O.S.E. is Serotonin

Serotonin can be tricky to succinctly define and has involvement in several processes, including regulating mood and promoting smooth digestion as well as potentially helping to reduce anxiety, promote patience and aiding the ability to cope with stress.

Now, over to all of you: What ideas do you have about how you could harness serotonin? @7cough9 @Shaz51 @june23 @Captain24 @Medicated

I love this one! Going for walks, sitting out in the sun, doing activities outdoor that I love 🙂

I do like being out in the sun, when it’s warm. I do feel good after taking Pix for a walk, just seeing her enjoyment

I think doing my diamond art falls into this too. I use it to help distract from my thoughts as mindfulness
