I have a feeling that today is going to be tougher. It's been "quiet" for too long. I wake up this morning and I'm craving dopamine before I can get out of bed (instagram, social media, porn). Since I've deleted all of my social media, my productivity has sky rocketed, but so far this morning I'm feeling the craving. It's my weekend now so I need to find ways to stay out of the house.
Many other ways to get a dopamine release: Exercise, getting out in sunshine, being social (with good people that won’t drag you into bad things), helping others, being creative, fixing things, making things look better (including yourself), getting enough quality sleep, music, meditation, mindfulness, a cup of coffee, a cold shower, standing, reducing inflammation (avoid the 4 worst inflammatories in our diets: sugar, GMO grains, pasteurized dairy, seed oils(vegetable, canola, peanut, corn; instead use olive, avocado, coconut), and otherwise eat a healthy diet (dark chocolate, fresh fruit & veggies are tasty and great and give an immediate dopamine release!) with focus on lots of healthy water and little sugared drinks.
Dude, dopamine…
