✨ Dopamine Mondays: Resetting Your Brain’s Reward System

Hey love, 🌸

You know that feeling when Monday hits and it feels like the whole world is already running a marathon while you’re still tying your laces? Emails piling up, Slack pinging, TikTok trends waiting, and everybody screaming “new week, new goals!” Meanwhile, you’re just trying to figure out how to make your morning coffee stretch into sanity.

Let me let you in on something: Mondays aren’t meant to be punishment. They’re not supposed to feel like the catch-up game of the week. When you shift the way your brain receives pleasure—when you give yourself a dopamine reset—you stop chasing crumbs of quick highs and start savoring the fullness of your soft life.

And sis, once you learn how to play with your dopamine, Mondays stop feeling like a burden and start feeling like an opportunity to glow differently. ✨

💭 Why Your Glow Needs a Dopamine Reset

Dopamine is the brain’s “feel-good” messenger. It’s what gives you that little rush when you check off a to-do, take a bite of dessert, or see notifications light up your phone. Sounds innocent, right?

But here’s the catch—when you flood your brain with too many quick hits (scrolling, sugar, constant multitasking), your natural glow gets drowned out. Suddenly, the simple joys—like morning silence, sunlight on your face, or a quiet dinner with your family—don’t hit the same.

That’s why Mondays can feel so heavy: you’re not really tired, your dopamine is just… scattered.

✨ The Soft Life Dopamine Reset

This isn’t about depriving yourself—it’s about refining your glow. Here’s how you can step into the week softer, calmer, and more magnetic:

• Morning Silence 🕊️Before you reach for your phone, give yourself 10 minutes of stillness. Tea, deep breathing, or journaling in your Digital Glow Journal. Start the week listening to yourself, not the noise.

  
  

• Upgrade Your Rewards 🌸Instead of chasing likes, chase light. Open your blinds, light your candle, and give your senses something nourishing.

  
  

• Curate Your Indulgence 💕This isn’t about saying no—it’s about saying yes to better. Swap doomscrolling for Pinterest vision boarding. Swap empty snacks for a Glow Green Smoothie (spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon, coconut water). Little swaps that feed your glow, not drain it.

  
  

• Evening Wind-Down 🛏️Your Monday night sets the tone for your whole week. Picture this: silk PJs, soft playlist, 20 minutes in your Glow Journal, and maybe a candlelit stretch. Set your brain up to feel calm instead of chaotic.

🌷 Glow Reminder

Sis, hear me on this: slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. Protecting your peace doesn’t mean you’re lazy. Rewiring your dopamine is how you remind your body and soul that joy comes from softness, not from how fast you can keep up.

So today, choose your glow. Step out of hustle mode, step into soft living, and let this Monday set the tone for the week ahead. Because when you learn to control your dopamine, you’re not just chasing moments—you’re creating a life that feels good from the inside out. 🕊️

Softness is success, too. And that’s the glow you deserve. ✨

With love & luxury,

Tammie✨
