These 7 short videos show you how to build new neural pathways to turn on your happy brain chemicals in new and healthy ways. Anyone can do it by following these simple steps.
You'll learn:
- What turns on each happy chemicals in the state of nature, and why they're not on all the time.
- Why do our unhappy chemicals turn on so easily.
- Three simple steps to wire in new self-soothing skills, so you can replace an old habit that you're better off without
It’s hard to accept the fact that our happy chemicals can’t surge all the time. DOPAMINE only spurts when you approach a new reward. OXYTOCIN only spurts when you enjoy safety in numbers. SEROTONIN only spurts when you assert your social importance. You will not have peace if you rush to trigger more of these chemicals as soon as a spurt is over. You’ll have more peace in the long run if you get comfortable with the neutral feeling between these spurts.
