My dopamine menu

I have used this over and over again to feel better and be productive on days where the motivation just isn’t there.

My favorites so far are:

•headphone and a podcast

•a good drink

•changing into an outfit I feel comfortable moving around it

What’s on your dopamine menu? Always looking for new things to add to mine. #dopamenu #dopamine #productivity

... Read moreA dopamine menu is a curated list of enjoyable activities designed to stimulate happiness and motivation, especially when you're feeling low. Incorporating quick appetizers like listening to a podcast or making a fun drink can lift your spirits in 15 minutes or less. Side dishes like stretching or a gratitude journal enhance your ability to tackle tasks, while main courses such as cleaning a room or going for a walk provide longer-term engagement. For bigger life events, consider adding specials like booking a trip or going to a concert for an added boost. Explore different options and find what truly elevates your mood. Don't hesitate to customize your menu—after all, it's all about what works for you!

I love the concept of having a dopamine menu, of things you can do instead of doom scrolling on social media. So I wanted to share what I do, when I need a break: 〜 I love reading books! I usually stop using my phone at 7 PM and just read to relax. 〜 Journaling and gratitude journaling
