Hi, this is Dr. Sandy here. In the last lesson, we had lots of fun visiting in the nucleus accumbens, your body's theme park. We also discovered your sugar Gremlin is not the only guy who can buy tickets. You can visit the park as often as you like. And you don't have to bring your sugar Gremlin along for the ride. And you do need to visit ever going to a funfair is a miserable existence.
Fortunately, there are lots of other ways to get tickets. Everyone is a little bit different, so you'll need to figure out how you can buy some funfair tickets. Here are a few suggestions. Go Green. Well, I had too many Join nature, ideally, by spending time outdoors, but if you live in a concrete jungle, at least keep a pot plant in your line of sight. Go rubber dub dub in the top.
Hot water and bubbles can get you float floating on a cloud. Go Boogie. Isn't your favorite music, crank up the volume and jive or go um meditate or coat check how long chinwag with your best friend or significant other but just go chill by the pool. Go exercise. Just don't overdo it. Remember yank And yodel.
If you think there's no pleasure in exercise, think again. Mother Nature really does make moving worthwhile unless you're a ferret. Ferrets are not designed to go for a morning jog ever. But both man and his dog are wired to move. The chemical incentive is actually not a squirt of dopamine. It's more like smoking some weed that the runner's high is produced by the release of your body's own data or marijuana.
The official name of the chemical is an edomite. All it takes to release it is a brief stint of exercise. This is why rain or shine run is put on They're running shoes and hit the road. You might be thinking, Well, what the hell is wrong with me pounding the pavement feels more like punishment and less like pleasure. The problem is, because you're carrying ferret jeans, you're just not doing it properly. To get the high, you have to exercise hard enough, and this is a problem.

If you cannot find anything to laugh at, fake it. strategically placing chopsticks in your mouth, can get you beaming, and dribble a happiness into your being. Oh, boss, someone around If you're at the bottom of the totem pole, tell the dog what to do.
It will make you feel better. And slay a few dragons real or imagined. Arrange for a cuddle. This also doesn't have to be human and animal will do. And for the ladies, go shopping. A pair of new shoes is like eating the tire, chocolate cake.
Love someone created a little steam in the bedroom. Oh, by the pool. soaking up the sun creates a little bit more than just vitamin D. It releases endorphins, another feel good chemical in your repertoire. Then when you're done late this steam out with a little pampering and enjoy a cup of steaming hot Grey tea without sugar Of course. If you do choose to reward yourself with sugar, enjoy it. Savor experiences.
Do not nibble with guilt, you'll end up with fewer tickets and might just end up eating more sugar in an attempt to get that expected reward. Get the full value of your sugar treat. And remember, it only takes a mouthful of sugar to get the dopamine squirt. So if your money in public, you might try a sugar goggle. Aim to hold not one.
