Fall things that bring me joy (and dopamine!)

I laid out what a dopamine menu was last month, and this month I want to show you what my fall dopamine menu looks like. A quick overview if you missed last months: A dopamine menu is a list of things you can do to give you a spike of dopamine. For a more detailed overview, go back and reference that post!

My appetizer for October is walking a quick loop around my neighborhood to check out directions

My main was going to the pumpkin patch - so fun and one of my favorite places!

For dessert, watching a spooky Halloween movie with yummy snacks does the trick. I chose Scream last time 🙂

And my sides? Sipping a homemade PSL or apple cider.

What does your current dopamine menu look like?
