How Doing Good Gets You High - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast
- Did you look at someone and smile today?
- Did you hold the door for someone?
- Did you send birthday wishes on your favorite social media channel, or a birthday text or email or card?
Did you know you light up someone’s day when you do something like that? People long to be seen, and when that happens, the person feels it and gets a hit of dopamine from their brain. They instantly feel a connection with you, and since we’re community-craving creatures, connection feels comforting.
Here’s a little secret – when you make eye contact while doing something nice for another person, you get a hit of dopamine, too! If you’re not able to make eye contact – maybe you’re using social media, text, email, or the postal service, think about the person you’re communicating with and think about how what you’re about to send will make them smile.
When you can conjure the feeling they’re likely to feel when they hear from you, you’ll get a hit of dopamine, too. Want to feel good? Make someone else feel good & watch what happens!
