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
Thereās 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.
Thereās 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 canāt focus or work without that coffee, due to the level of stimulation it brings. When they donāt receive that stimulation, their brain finds it hard to focus.
On the other hand, you can use stimulants to your advantage.
