Happy Monday!
There are four positive chemicals that improve your mood and health. They are Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Endorphins. Here are eight simple daily habits to feed your brain — start them today!!!
🥛 Switch out one caffeine drink a day with a glass or bottle of water.
🚶♂️ Park far away from entrances and walk into work or the store.
🕤 Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than you currently do and get a little more sleep.
🎶 Listen to music at least once every day.
💨 Take five minutes every day to do deep breathing — clear the mind, slowly inhale, hold it, slowly exhale … repeat.
🤗 Hug someone once a day…a partner, a family member, a friend, even (possibly) a stranger. Just hug at least one person every day.
🐴 Pet an animal once a day. Personally, we have horses, donkeys, dogs, and cats, so I have no problem with this. But try to pet an animal once a day.
🤣 Read something that makes you smile or laugh every day…consider getting a joke-a-day app or something.
Do these very simple things every day and your mood and health will improve. No need for drugs or expensive programs. Just take little steps to feed your brain!
