It's interesting because dopamine is the only one we've managed to discover how to hijack effectively. We can't rapidly in a kind of fake way increase the oxytocin or the serotonin or the endorphins. Ultimately, when we look into the research, it's not that something can rapidly increase it and crash it out, but it's that someone might have a low level of oxytocin production.

through things like a lack of social connection in social moments, always having phones that are disrupting the quality of the connection. Things like how we connect with ourself in the conversation we have with ourself is a factor here. Things like criticizing our appearance and being unkind to ourself is a big factor.

So if you look down that lane of lack of human connection or disconnection from yourself, that's reducing the production.

For sure. Like if you're finding you have a very critical voice in your mind that's very hard on yourself, it's really important to understand that there's an oxytocin relationship happening there. You don't have necessarily a lot of love for yourself going through your brain. Just like with the dopamine, I would have no judgment for yourself if that's the case.

We live in a world now where it's mass comparison. We've got the mirrors, we've got the selfies, we've all got social media profiles where we're trying to create what we look like. dating profiles that need to be amazing in order to get a match. Like it's very hard to not really, really care for your appearance. But going down that lane of constant judgment is really challenging for this chemical.

Whilst I think society is very aware it's important and people have gratitude journals and all kinds of things, I think still a huge percentage, definitely in the research that we're doing, don't actually have like a consistent daily practice whereby they're asking themselves what they're grateful for and then most importantly, why they're grateful for that action or activity or experience that they have within their life.

Adding to that morning routine, we eventually try and get all these chemicals in. So someone goes through that dopaminergic process of getting that into balance. When they step outside, we get someone to find a bench that they will typically walk past on a frequent basis. Whenever you habit stack or pair environmental cues with a habit, it makes it stronger.
