Who would've thought I'd be able to head out #sailing in the first week of our #Australian #winter?? Not me - that's for damn sure. But here I am, out on the water off #Adelaide yesterday (Monday 5th) with my trusty co-pilot, plying the ocean and having a ball doing it.

I had my #neuromodulator turned way up on the left hand side and it coped with the stresses I was putting through my left leg but man I was sore last night. It was a good kind of sore though.

Why is #dopamine important? https://youtu.be/QmOF0crdyRU?t=712

"dopamine has everything to do with how you feel right now...with how you will feel an hour from now,...with your level of motivation and your level of desire, and your willingness to push through effort."

* More dopamine = more excited, more outward facing, more willing to lean into life/pursue things.

* As a #neuromodulator, dopamine influences the which neural circuits will be active/inactive. It shifts our whole mood and mindset.
