Tks . Exactly what I needed.
As the Stoics said: "Focus on what truly matters." - Life is short. Spend your energy on what aligns with your values and purpose.
Connecting with nature, is one of the absolute best forms of enhancing dopamine and overall well being. Also learn frequently.
Nature's the ultimate mood booster! How do you incorporate nature into your routine, and any favorite learning methods or resources that keep your dopamine levels high and your well-being thriving? 🌿📚🌞
Absolutely true! Ever since moving to the country side life’s been so much better more relaxing overall! I go for daily jogs and walk in nature it’s so beautiful and nice! At our channel we celebrate 🎊 incorporating nature and animals for optimal happiness!
Bird watching really helps me. Cannot wait to put up a hummingbird feeder and wait for their return in March!
A huge change for me was cutting out caffeine completely...after a month of no caffeine I started to feel very relaxed but with more energy than when I was on caffeine. And my sleep is now incredible. Mindfulness also helped boost my activity. Books like "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels and the Tao Te Ching were nice.
Impressive transformation! Cutting out caffeine for calm vibes and embracing mindfulness - sounds like a winning combo. Any other life-changing habits or books you'd recommend for those looking to embark on a similar journey of relaxation and energy? ☕🚫📚
The fort of quiting caffeine is giving me a hedache 😂. But still I reliese it needs to be done
Caffeine helps with dopamine
God how did you get over caffeine headaches? Every time i forget coffee/energy drinks my head feels like it’s splitting down the middle
@@TheOverThinker95 When I got down to one small cup of coffee, I then went down to half a cup, then a third cup, and was actually drinking a tablespoon of coffee at the end, and after the tablespoon...decaf coffee for about a week...by that time my brain and body were already adjusting to low to no caffeine. If you do that method, be religious about measuring it out, because if you get down to a tablespoon of coffee but then say "two tablespoons will be ok" it won't really work, never go back up in measurement. I had to do this because I'm very caffeine sensitive. This allows the brain and body to adjust without the intense headaches.
Taking morning walks
Meditation
listening to my favourite music
I have noticed..i don't get headaches anymore
These are really good.
I see a counselor for depression. She talks about my low dopamine levels.
One thing that concerns me is you used to find balance on television. There were the Hawaiia 5os and Mission Impossible but they balanced out with F Troop, Carol Burnett. Westerns like The Big Valley my favorite show..) were more relaxed. They even dealt with Earthquakes in an easier manner. I actually was in a major earthquake that made the news. It is done in a way where you walk away refreshed rather than wanting to go out and kill yourself.
Today it’s all about violence or reality tv. Some of these are good. My problem is the lack of balance.
I don’t even own a television. I watch Hallmark channel on my little Echo show. I have insomnia. I have had quite the stressful and needing to upset my sleep schedule week. Sure enough there came a night when I was wide awake and couldn’t get back to sleep. I always have the echo show right by me at night. I stayed in bed and watched the Hallmark channel. That put me back to sleep.
Most modern day humor is not humor at all although there are exceptions. Jay Leno was really funny and did political humor well.
Thank you for the outline/Table of Contents. This helps
Of all the videos I've watched on the subject of ADHD, this is the very best, most helpful for me personally! At last I've found something I believe will work !!! It makes sense too. I can look at my life and see past examples of how what you said actually does work but I didn't realize it at the time. A zillion "Thank You!s" It's now bedtime but I will begin first thing tomorrow to incorporate all you suggested into my daily routine. :) Hugs!
Music, sleep, exercise, food, laughter
You forgot to add meditation
Weed
and sex!
This hits home as someone who's quitting SSRI's after 15 years of use.
Why are you quitting them?

Great video content, I ❤ your voice and style!
This explains why I feel happy and recharged by swimming.
Working out and taking a nap helped me soooo much
Serotonin is the happiness hormone. dopamine is pleasure and it takes from the happiness
Dopamine is the pleasure seeking hormone thats why we get a thrill from chasing something or looking forward to a event, your correct serotonin is the happy hormone,
It’s right comment , big difference between happy and pleasers , pleasures may be coming in wrong way , happy come in right way,,the physiology of these neurotransmitters is different
Dopamine is REWARD

WORKING OUT GOOD FOR MOODS
True, ❤
When it comes to dopamine, it's not necessarily that people are struggling to produce enough of it in the modern day, it's actually that we produce _too much_ of it constantly then the brain blocks some of its receptors to cope. So, when we later do things that used to give the correct amount of dopamine the brain doesn't have enough active receptors because it's been forced to block them during long periods of extremely stimulating activity. But fortunately, this is reversible (should note however, ADHD is not --- having a low number of total receptors is different from having the correct number but some temporarily blocked).
Say you're constantly on social media, so your brain produces around 50 A.U of dopamine for 16 hours straight. Also say the normal amount is around 20 A.U. To return to the normal amount, your brain blocks some receptors, so now it only takes in 40% of the dopamine it receives. Then, you decide one day to start painting, giving an average of 20 A.U. dopamine. To be able to absorb all of that efficiently, the brain would need to use all of its receptors --- but some of them are blocked thanks to social media usage. This results in you taking in 4 A.U of that dopamine --- less than the 20 A.U baseline --- because you don't have enough unblocked receptors. This causes painting to feel unfulfilling especially if done without music or social media at the same time. That's why people continue to rely on high-dopamine tasks.
It takes a _long_ time of consistently doing low-dopamine tasks to solve the problem. It can even take months.
I'm not using exact figures, hence "A.U". I'm just explaining the concept to illustrate the general idea.
Well if it’s not true you made a convincing argument.
I don’t want to do cold showers but I know it helps
It really helps, you feel it immediately
Just try once for 2 min. Rotating your body around & get your neck
I didn’t do my whole head yet. Best wishes
That's why there are so many options. Thank goodness for many options. 😀
It's really does idk why I do ice baths they suck at first but are eventually relaxing
I usually just switch to cold water for the last minute of my shower, that way you still get the effect without sacrificing warm showers
Excellent video thanks 🎉
Great clip thanks 🙏 ❤
Thank you for this
Hormesis is a new one . Thanks for sharing.

Ice Baths work awesome as well
CINNOMON = BEATS DEPRESSION

Anaerobic workout.
15-20 minutes 30 seconds between sets 3 times per week.
Walk daily, have enough protein in your diet and amino acids.
Quit bad habits and get off social media and phone as much as possible.
Go outside in to the Sun light.
Cold showers.
But weight lifting is King in getting your good hormones released not even running comes close.

Laughters....💓♾️
Im depressed mentally, please help me😢😢😢😢😢
It may be time to reach out to a psychiatrist or psychologist rather than any one person here.
Start off by connecting with nature as much as possible. Everything else will start to fall into place from there.
Go to the gym, set a goal and go after it. Seek knowledge and connect with god and think about the meaning of life (Islam has the best answers for that). Find a purpose in life and Speak good about yourself. Be confident about what you do and build you self esteem. Be a good person to yourself and to others, as spiritually your Familie.
Live is short, drop all the baggages. Sleep early, sleep well, eat well, dress well, stretch, exercise and find someone to talk to everyday.
Hope u are well, praying and e
Xcercising and talking to God about ridding you of depression
The word is fun. Find something fun to do. It'll make u happy.
Could constant downward fluctuations of dopamine levels lead to dementia since if dopamine is a neurotransmitter we might end up with a gradual decease of our neurons just like we can no longer survive without enough fluid intake into our cells?
It can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
TACOS = HAPPY
Right in a way 🤣
Lolz
where are you from
ACTION MOTIVATES
Nice video sir, mam Planet Ayurveda's Shirisha Powder showcases Ayurveda's understanding of brain health"
Nope. Serotonin is a happy hormone. Dopamine is a pleasure hormone.
Pleasure can cause happiness
@@JoeBran-v1b No. Happiness is a much deeper sense of wellbeing. Happiness can induce pleasure. Happiness is not "okay I feel good". Nope, it's pleasure. Happiness is like accepting and living in peace with ourselves, feeling the unity with others, understanding our life's goals and living with greater transcendental knowledge etc.

REM sleep is not deep sleep
Ya, was wondering how rapid eye movement can be relaxing?
point 3: how?????????!
Modafinil is the ansfer.
It isn't the reward; dopamine is released in the anticipation of a reward. Something the gambling industry and video games know how to manipulate.
I drink decaffeinated coffee

Happy Hormone or Pleasure Hormone?
I think any of them will do. 😃
@@NinaAndrew-fp1sd Pleasure is short term, happiness is long term. Pleasure is visceral, felt in the body. Happiness is ethereal.

He who watches this Comment, stop weed bro ! Take a break ! Prove your self that you can like you could in the past when you where young 🙏🏻❤
I’ve Been Sober From Weed For About Going On 4 Weeks, Temptation Knocks Onto My Mind To Where I Talk To Jesus Christ My Lord And Savior And I Tell Him Lord You Know I Want To Smoke But Then I Tell Myself I’m Not Going To Do It.! Weed Gives Me Temporary False Happiness And Though It Makes Me Speak My Mind Since I’m Always 95% Throughout My Days In My Head Weed Makes Me Speak, It Also Gives Me The Feeling Of Being Strong Character And Not Sugarcoating Things But It Also Makes Me Feel Very Emotional What Phycologist Like To Call Me Bipolar Cause I Could Be Crying Talking Without Throwing A Tantrum Or Causing A Dramatic Attitude And In Less Then A Minute Stay Completely Calm And Quiet In My Mind And Just Start Laughing, I’ll Either Forget What I Was Crying About Or Be Laughing At How Non Important Whatever I Was Crying Over Was Really About.!
When I Don’t Smoke Weed,
I Say Maybe 40 Words A Day Rest Of The Day I’m In My Head And Or Listening To Music With My Headphones On.!
I Like Smoking Weed But It’s Temporary False Happiness, It’s Like Myself Vs Myself I Don’t Blame Lucifer For My Desires To Satisfy My Flesh Temporarily But I Know GODS Word Says To Have A Sober Mind And To Be Found Blameless At His Second Coming, And Being Caught In An Action Of Sinful Doing When He’s Coming Down From Heaven And Knowing It Would Be So Disrespectful To Pass Him The Joint As I Would With Someone Who Might Be Smoking With Me Makes Me Realize If I Can’t Share What I Am Doing With Jesus Christ I Shouldn’t Be Doing It Then.!
Informative....😂
