I think doing my diamond art falls into this too. I use it to help distract from my thoughts as mindfulness

Y'all are really onto this one I feel! Awesome work @Shaz51 @amber22 @Captain24 Getting out into nature, doses of sun and exercise are all awesome ways of harnessing/ boosting serotonin! A few other possibilities are: 

• Reminiscing about good times
• Good food- like bananas and apples

[Shaz51]

Yes , very true @Captain24 and then to see it all finished will be a great feeling 

Like I like doing jigsaw puzzles @TideisTurning , @amber22 and to see it finally done 

[Captain24]

I’ve got 2 framed @Shaz51 and almost finished a third

[Shaz51]

Ohhh wow @Captain24 , that is totally wonderful my friend,  way to go 🥲

The final Happy Hormone, the E in D.O.S.E is Endorphins! 

Endorphins are hormones and neuro-signalling molecules that function as painkillers and also have involvement in our natural rewards circuits! 

Once again, over to all of you: What ideas do you have about how you could harness endorphins? @Captain24 @Shaz51 @7cough9 @june23 @Medicated   

[amber22]

Going for a run always helps me. Also I've heard apparently chocolate is meant to give you some endorphins... specifically dark chocolate 🙂 

[Captain24]

I prefer the chocolate option @amber22 

[amber22]

Haha me too! @Captain24 

[Shaz51]

@amber22 , I love cheeses 🧀 

My Mr shaz loves chocolate  🍫
