In today's digital world, loneliness is a prevalent issue, particularly among entrepreneurs who often work remotely and spend long hours behind screens. This isolation can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and decreased motivation, which may be linked to low levels of oxytocin, known as the love or bonding hormone. Oxytocin not only influences mood and brain activity but also plays a crucial role in regulating stress and fostering trust within social groups.

Feeling unmotivated or "meh" about life could be a sign that your brain is low on dopamine, the chemical responsible for fueling motivation, focus, and satisfaction. However, boosting dopamine naturally is possible, allowing you to feel more energized and happier in your daily life. Understanding why dopamine is crucial, recognizing the signs of deficiency, and learning how to increase your levels can help you feel great every day.

If you are looking to boost your mood, this is the simplest way to get in your daily DOSE!

As entrepreneurs, it's an incredible feeling not having to answer to a boss, or dealing with coworker drama, but the flip side of this is that we have to be self-disciplined and motivate ourselves in order to run a successful online business. What happens when you just don't feel like working? It's fantastic that you can set your own schedule, but what happens when you lose your motivation and can't find it again? You started out with an abundance of passion and excitement, but it starts to fade, then you hit a wall, lose your way, get stuck spinning in circles not knowing what direction to go.There are several reasons for loss of motivation including perfectionism, self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. All of these can generate the perfect storm that leads to the downfall of your once thriving business.The big question is how to re-ignite your motivation when the fire goes out?

You have an extraordinary idea that you want to share with the world. The fire within you ignites, your motivation turns into a firestorm, connecting with customers, growing your audience, making sales. Then after a time, it starts fizzling out to embers. You try different approaches to keep the fire burning, but it feels like trying to light a campfire in the rain. You're not alone, online business burnout is a real thing.The difference between people who succeed online and those who throw in the towel is one thing...

We've all had these days...working on your computer and it starts acting sluggish, webpages are slow to load, and it freezes a time or two. You start praying it won’t totally crash before you finish what you’re working on. At this point, you KNOW what needs to be done, but you are dreading it. Cause, let’s face it, 342 tabs are open, and powering down may not save them all. It will only take a few minutes and once the computer is back on, it will work soooo much better.This is EXACTLY what we need to do as humans sometime. When we’re not functioning as designed, feeling sluggish, bogged down with multiple tabs open in our brains, overwhelmed, and stressed, we need a REBOOT. It doesn’t take long and is necessary to keep going. There’s a chance that just pushing through will lead you to the dreaded BLUE SCREEN and you’ll be forced to shut down without a choice.I’m not just talking about needing a nap, this is something deeper. If you are not happy with the person you see in the mirror, if you lack a sense of motivation, direction, or purpose, if you keep shrugging off these feelings hoping they will blow over and get better, but nothing is changing and you are just going through the motions day after day, after day. It’s exhausting, but when you start becoming numb and life seems meaningless, these are danger signs and you need to step up, take responsibility for yourself and REBOOT.

What the Heck is DOSE and why does everybody need it in their life?DOSE stands for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins and are neurotransmitters, often called the "feel-good hormones" that are responsible for our feelings of happiness. Our brains are wired for survival, when we do something good, we are rewarded with good feelings. For example, we need to eat to survive, so our bodies trigger dopamine when we eat good food.When all four of these neurotransmitters are created, we feel good, which leads to motivation, which leads to productivity and so on. Long story short...we need to trigger these on a daily basis to create happiness. When we lack one or more of these, this leads to feeling lethargic, unmotivated, anxious, depressed...you get the idea.How do we create DOSE Daily?I always say, in order to bake a cake, you need the ingredients and you need to do the action (mixing and baking). Same with DOSE...we need nutrients in our body to CREATE each element. Once we have the ingredients, we need to take ACTIONS to trigger them.
