You're smart, capable and constantly “on”. You do a lot every day. Work, home, family, phone, messages - everything runs through you. Yet, at the end of the day, many nights you still feel tired, exhausted, dull and a little empty inside. If this sounds like you, this article is for you. It's not going to guide you to be perfect at all fronts of your life. It's about understanding your brain's four happy chemicals and learning tiny, simple, 5-minute practical ways to support them in your daily life, without adding more pressure to your to-do list. You don’t need perfection; you need repetition.

Your brain uses tiny chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to send signals. They carry “mood messages” from one nerve cell to another. These messages influence your feelings, mood, energy, sleep and how you handle daily stress. Small, regular habits can support them gently over time. When these chemicals are in balance, you feel steadier, safer and more hopeful. When they are low or out of sync, everything feels heavier and small problems can feel very big.

D.O.S.E is a simple way to remember four key happy chemicals: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins.

Dopamine is linked to reward, motivation and that “I did it” feeling. As a woman, you finish many tasks that no one even notices. Your brain also needs to notice those wins.
