Unleash The Power Of Dopamine. A Neuroscience Guide Out Of Feeling Stuck
Don’t run from your fear even if it seems crazy like mine did
Harvard Professor and Neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman says, ‘Dopamine is your greatest currency.”
I was tired of being indecisive. A lack of clarity made me feel like a victim. I was chasing after my goals and an income for all the wrong reasons.
The change came from Neuroscience in a moment of self-discovery when I surrendered control, and became present-minded, almost carefree.
It was a conscious decision. It was intentional.
This caused my brain to release Dopamine, the neurotransmitter known as the ‘happy chemical’ that comes from the reward centers of the brain. We feel a sense of satisfaction and are more motivated.
Dr. Huberman says you can be a multi-millionaire or have just two dollars, but the happiness you feel comes from inside.
I had been stuck making a life-changing choice to try again in my later years to work as a flight Attendant.
Yawn, back and forth I ruminated, regretting that I had quit while meanwhile, I just kept getting older. Thoughts of ‘if not now, when?’ pressured me to live bigger, faster.
