Today we’re sharing our ideal Dopamine Menu.
Ever notice how the little things can often give you the biggest boost? We love the satisfaction of a small thrill.
Today on the #GeeEdit, we’ve each written lists of the smaller, yet meaningful things that bring us joy and happiness. Plus, we’re sharing our guide to creating your own list!
What is a dopamine menu?
A dopamine menu is a list of all the things (big and small) that bring you a quick burst of joy and a pick-me-up. These things can range from your first bite of your favorite appetizer at dinner or walking into your favorite workout class and literally everything in between! There are no wrong answers here. This is your list, your life and it's all about what makes YOU happy, whatever that looks like!
How to create your own dopamine menu?
Start writing a list of anything and everything that you enjoy doing, what brings you a feeling of immense pleasure and what you look forward to. Handwrite it, type it out or even put it in your phone for quick access. If you're ever feeling like you're in need of a boost, refer to your list. It's become one of our newest and best hacks to finding joy in our everyday.
