Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels.â Details at: https://innermammalinstitute.org
Life is more peaceful and satisfying when you understand the brain weâve inherited from earlier mammals. Your mammal brain controls the chemicals that make you feel good: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin. These chemicals are released for reasons that donât make sense to our verbal human brain. When you know what these chemicals do in animals, your ups and downs make sense!
Our happy chemicals evolved to reward survival behavior, not to make you feel good all the time. Each happy chemical has a special job. When it turns on, it paves neural pathways that turn it on more easily in the future. Thatâs why we repeat behaviors that weâd rather do without. Fortunately, you can re-wire yourself to stimulate them in sustainable ways.
But itâs hard. Itâs like learning a foreign language: it takes a lot of repetition. Yet people do it every day. You can be one of them! You can design a new path to your happy chemicals and repeat it until itâs strong enough to turn on easily. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how.
The Inner Mammal Institute has free resources to help you make peace with your inner mammal: videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuningâs books explain the big picture and help you plot your course step by step. No matter where you are right now, you can enjoy more happy chemicals in healthy ways.
