Adrenaline & dopamine.

What are adrenaline and dopamine?

Adrenaline is a substance that is released in the body of a person who is feeling a strong emotion (such as excitement, fear, or anger) and that causes the heart to beat faster and gives the person more energy.

Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain that makes you feel positive, energetic and happy.

Stimulants

Thereā€™s a great deal of stimulants in the world; medication, coffee, certain foods etc. These stimulants often work to provide you with more energy ā€” they release dopamine and adrenaline.

Thereā€™s some key negatives when it comes to stimulants, the main one being that it is easy to become addicted to certain stimulants.

  • People who become used to drinking coffee often canā€™t focus or work without that coffee, due to the level of stimulation it brings. When they donā€™t receive that stimulation, their brain finds it hard to focus.

On the other hand, you can use stimulants to your advantage.
