0:00.0	Hello, good morning and welcome back to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan or Alana. And today's episode is my
0:13.5	dopamine menu for the winter 24, 25 season. These are all the things that give me dopamine, that make me feel good,
0:25.2	that make me happy, that give me that feel good hormone. Paid and Sartre did an episode on this
0:31.6	a while back. I am a big stand of her. You guys know I love listening to Note to Self. I'm now on the three-way pod
0:38.6	wave and it truly just is a list of small, enjoyable activities designed to boost dopamine,
0:46.4	the feel-good neurotransmitter. I think this is a really perfectly timed episode. If I don't

2:00.0	And I've been getting to chat with you guys more.
2:01.8	I can reply on there. I can like. It's almost like Instagram or TikTok. But as you were listening to
2:07.0	this, I am in London. I'll be in South Africa and Johannesburg when you're listening to this
