10 Simple Moves To Boost Your Mood

3/8/2023

Ready for some more simple moves to help you boost your Happy Hormones?

These healthy moves can be a great sugar substitute if you love sweets & snacks like me.  

And no, I'm not talking about Stevia. I love it in my coffee or tea, but it doesn't give you that Dopamine hit we are going for.

Dopamine manages your brain's reward center. You get a boost of it when you do something pleasurable. It gives you a feeling of well-being, satisfaction and motivation.

Think of the way you feel when you eat chips, donuts, or even binge on Netflix.

Oh so good, but not so healthy and what happens next? You usually have to keep going to stay satisfied and before you know it you've gotten to the bottom of the bag of chips or finished a whole season to keep that feeling going. Haven't you?

Outsmart your brain with these 10 dopamine boosters instead:

1. Meditate
2. Exercise
3. Daily Sun
4. Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night
5. Eat a protein-rich diet
6. EAT chocolate (sorry but it's true just keep it in moderation & the darkest you can enjoy; great for PMS time of the month)
7. Listen to upbeat music
8. Tackle the NUTS in your life
9. Break tasks down into small bites so you can complete one task
10. Celebrate your wins

Bonus Move: Use the 3 Bite Dessert Rule- studies show it's just as satisfying for your brain to eat 3 bites vs the whole dessert.

Test & Track to see which ones work best for you. 

You've got this!

P.S. Ready to Spring forward? Here are 2 strategies to help you adjust. Both are on the dopamine booster list!

Did you know we just had World Wildlife Day? For every camp sale this month, we're donating to one of our fav's. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust rescues & rehabs orphaned elephants, rhino’s & wildlife in Kenya to return them healthy to the wild as well as securing habitats for future generations, providing fresh water relief, vet rescue units and my favorite- their canine project using dogs to sniff out wildlife crime.
