Serotonin is the long term feel good hormone.
Dopamine is the quick hit feel good hormone.
Whilst there’s nothing wrong with a quickie, it’s better to aim for serotonin.
For me, that comes down to creating or exercising above consuming.
Social networks and TV hit our dopamine hard.
Like a wind up toy, we buzz for a minute then need another go.
Whereas creating stuff and exercising hooks you up to an invisible drip of liquid happiness—AKA serotonin.
