Stop and Smell the Roses – Don’t Ignore your Dopamine Kick!

Why is it that no matter how much we achieve, we are perpetually dissatisfied?

That is because we are quick to skip ahead to the next hurdle, robbing ourselves of the satisfaction we’ve earned.

Achieving and recognizing milestones releases dopamine – the reward system of the brain. It helps keep us inspired and motivated in pursuit of our goals. In my work with clients, we celebrate incremental steps to help fuel consistent and sustainable dopamine production.

Acknowledging our wins, deeply and authentically, takes practice, but it’s well worth the effort.
