Listen "Put Yourself on the List: The Dopamine Double Whammy You Need"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Snackable Selfcare Soundbites, we’re rewriting your to-do list... literally.
Turns out, that satisfying tick isn’t just about organisation; it’s a dopamine-powered feedback loop that can retrain your brain to prioritise you.
Emma dives into the science of dopamine, explains the “virtuous cycle” of reward and motivation, and shows why writing your own name on the list (yes, Emma – stretch for five minutes!) helps wire your brain to see your wellbeing as a priority.
You’ll learn:
The dopamine double whammy: why anticipation + achievement feels so good
How your to-do list becomes a feedback loop that boosts motivation
The neuroscience of putting yourself first — and what it does to your self-worth circuitry
How to connect your daily list to your MAP: Meaning, Anchors, Priorities
This week’s micro-habit: Start every list with one self-care action that has your name on it. Then tick it, celebrate it, and repeat it.
Because when you’re on your list, you’re training your brain to believe: you matter too.
