Exercises to stimulate chemical changes in our brain.

Imagine your brain as a constantly functioning laboratory, where neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that influence your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. In this session, you will discover how your daily actions and practices can influence the release of these chemicals, paving the way for positive and sustainable mental change.

Dopamine

Dopamine, often referred to as the neurotransmitter of reward and pleasure, plays a crucial role in how we approach procrastination and motivation. When we seek instant gratifications, such as checking social media or eating sugary foods, we are in search of that dopamine boost. However, learning to channel this molecule effectively can be the catalyst for overcoming procrastination and forging productive habits.

Setting challenging and achievable goals can trigger the release of dopamine in your brain. As you break down your goals into smaller steps and celebrate each accomplishment, you will be rewarding your brain and building a positive relationship with the task at hand. This practice reinforces motivation and defuses procrastination urges.

Serotonin

Serotonin, known as the neurotransmitter of well-being and happiness, also plays an important role in how we adapt to change and cope with challenging situations. Understanding how serotonin can influence your ability to cope with change can provide you with powerful tools to overcome the resistance and anxiety that often accompany procrastination.

Practicing self-compassion and gratitude can increase serotonin levels in your brain. By being kind to yourself and acknowledging your accomplishments, you are fueling your ability to cope with change and approach procrastination from a place of inner strength. This consistent practice can help you change your relationship with change and procrastination.
