I want to start each day enriching my brain with dopamine, and Id like help with ideas!
In Tools of Titans, Rick Rubin said the best thing he ever did was get 30 minutes of sunlight first thing in the morning, which sounds like an amazing way to get the dopamine wheels spinning. Where I am in Canada, sunlight is unreliable, as is the weather (temperature is reliably cool). Thoughts on ways to get similar benefits on a dark, rainy/snowy morning?
Coffee seems like a sure bet on dopamine, with added gelatin.
Protein-rich breakfast, with necessary sugars. Maybe goats milk, eggs, salt, cheese and honey? What would an ideal, dopamine-stimulating breakfast look like?
Perhaps some stretching, or some exercise? I believe stretching is more GABA-promoting, and exercise would have to be light enough to not cause a stress response (dismal way to begin a day).
Perhaps 5 minutes of meditation?
Supplemental tyrosine, L-theanine?
Is there anything dopamine-y that Im missing from a lifestyle perspective?
