3 Minutes Science & Logic by TJ Power

TJ Power, Neuroscientist behind the DOSE effect

Brief mindfulness interventions have been shown to lower serum cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and "fire up" the release of dopamine and serotonin, which are essential for sustained concentration and mood stability.

What this means is... when you're stressed, your body is flooded with cortisol, the hormone that keeps you on edge and scattered. 

Even a few minutes of mindfulness has been shown to bring that down, while at the same time triggering dopamine and serotonin; the chemicals your brain needs to feel focused, motivated, and emotionally steady. 

Not after weeks of practice. In minutes. This is dopamine and cortisol regulation.
