Dopamine Dressing

It's been a bit of a heavy week for me, so this morning I decided to try a little dopamine dressing.

Somehow, the simple act of stepping into my closet to create a new outfit with happy colors and fun textures just lifts my mood and helps me feel ready to tackle the day.

This process doesn't take away the dark clouds in life (and admittedly there are days I would rather just throw on a black t-shirt and jeans), but it usually does seem to add a layer of fun and joy to my day that can act as a hopeful companion as I work through the tougher things.

It reminds me that, although life is full of challenges and heartbreaks, it is also simultaneously full of life, color, and creativity.

So, here's to dopamine dressing as one of the tools in our self-care toolbox!
