Your happy chemicals will not surge all the time, but you do not need to be having a “peak” experience at every moment. You can accept the inevitable dips in your happy chemicals instead of believing something is wrong. You don’t have to mask the dips with unhealthy habits. You can just take them as evidence that your inner mammal is looking out for you in the best way it knows how. It’s not easy to manage this brain we’ve inherited from our ancestors. It’s the challenge that comes with the gift of life.
