How does it help regulate your mood?
How can people instantly improve their mood?
Dopamine is often called the “motivation molecule”, it is the main brain chemical messenger responsible for making us feel motivated and we can trigger its release simply by moving! Dopamine provides the drive and focus we all need in order to learn and be productive … it is mood-boosting, anxiety-reducing, increases our attention-span and pain tolerance, and can bring about short term euphoria.
Produce some feel-good drug … naturally! These are some of our favourite ways to stimulate dopamine release:
- Go for a brisk walk or Off-Road-Speed Play!
- Put on your favourite song and dance
- Stretch out your body
- Get outside and drink in the sun
- Do the 3D Walking Challenge!
- Eat something nourishing and delic
ious - Hug your pet
- Do something meaningful for someone else
- Dry skin brush
- Resistance train your body (situp, pushup, squat, dip!)
- Get enough sleep
- Be creative … learn something new!
- Drink more tea
- UnMeditate
- Commit yourself to being Emotionally Fit
Remember, one of the most important traits of dopamine is its ability to kick start motivation and make us feel better! Dopamine release happens when we perform or experience any activity or emotion which is deemed pleasurable. So, live in the moment … and enjoy what you’ve chosen to do to nourish yourself!
