freixenetSo, briefly, my efforts to increase my dopamine levels have been paying off handsomely.
It's astonishing to me how much better I'm feeling just by simply doing things that make me feel good, giving myself different little treats to anticipate and enjoy, and smiling to myself (it always starts privately but then that upswell of joy happens and I start to grin). And it cannot be understated how effective it's been to put on music I love and then find myself dancing to it. My hip is certainly not thrilled with the additional exercise, but it's bearing up well overall, and I have remembered that a good deal of Bonnie Raitt is either West Coast Swing or (surprisingly) rumba (with a twangy swingy kind of feel).
I'd also forgotten how majorly kick ass Bonnie Raitt is.
Alexa, play some Bonnie Raitt.
