My dopamine menu! Done and happy screen reduction edition🍐🍵💕☀️

dopamine: happiness, satisfaction and hope hormones will make us feel alert, active, focused. If our body lacks dopamine, it will feel lazy, unforced, hopeless, unfocused, etc!

💥 - in fact, dopamine is both good and bad. The bad is from plowing short content, online shopping or eating dessert. Anything that takes little effort to get happiness quickly = bad dopamine 🥲.

Today, let's share what we like to do, can be happy without having to focus on hyperactivity and not toxic to ourselves!

What is everyone's dopamine menu? Let's share it.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การจัดทำ my dopamine menu เป็นวิธีที่ดีมากในการดูแลสุขภาพจิตและเพิ่มสมาธิของตัวเอง วันไหนที่รู้สึกว่าสมาธิสั้น เราจะเปลี่ยนจากการไถหน้าจอมือถือมาเป็นชงชาเขียวมัทฉะหรือกาแฟเองที่บ้าน ตอนเช้าแค่นี้ก็รู้สึกสดชื่นขึ้นแล้ว และยังรู้สึกมีภารกิจเล็กๆ ให้ได้ตั้งใจทำด้วย อีกกิจกรรมที่ช่วยให้มีความสุขและโฟกัสมากขึ้น คือการอ่านหนังสือหรือเขียน Journal เก็บบันทึกความคิดและความรู้สึกของตัวเอง ถือว่าเป็นการฝึกสมาธิและเวลากับตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง การทำ Scrapbook หรือ Diary แบบนี้ช่วยให้เราตระหนักและชื่นชมช่วงเวลาที่ดีในชีวิต ลดความเครียดและเหนื่อยล้าจากความวุ่นวายรอบตัว สิ่งสำคัญคือ การหลีกเลี่ยงโดพามีนที่ไม่ดีจากการเสพติดสื่อสั้นๆ หรือของหวานที่ให้ความสุขชั่วคราวแต่ไม่ยั่งยืน เพราะจะทำให้สมาธิสั้นขึ้น และความสุขที่ได้รับเป็นแบบติดๆ หลุดๆ การเลือกทำกิจกรรมที่ต้องใช้ความพยายามและสร้างคุณค่าให้กับตัวเอง เหมือนกับที่แชร์ใน my dopamine menu จะช่วยให้ความสุขนั้นมั่นคงและดีต่อใจมากกว่า หากใครกำลังมองหาวิธีรักษาสมาธิหรือฟื้นฟูจิตใจ การสร้าง dopamine menu ของตัวเองนี้ถือว่าคุ้มค่าที่จะลองทำ บางทีเพียงแค่เปลี่ยนกิจกรรมเล็กๆ น้อยๆ ในแต่ละวัน ก็ช่วยให้รู้สึก happy และมีพลังในการใช้ชีวิตมากขึ้นจริงๆค่ะ
