Emergency Dinosaurs

“Dopamine Dinos”

Tiny dinos, big grins, Mondays are more than just head spins,

In pockets, on desks, they’Il boost your dopamine on a whim,

A dash of joy, a reset for your brain,

Each little dino, a cheerful way to stay sane, Life’s too short to fret, let’s share dino delight,

In every corner of this silly adulting life, let happiness ignite. Happy Monday! //

Never forget that the smallest of gestures can make all the difference in someone’s day. Yesterday, I gave away more than 100 “dopamine dinosaurs” to strangers who needed a reason to smile. Atticus taught me early on the importance of always carrying emergency dinosaurs in your pocket. Life is tough, but so are you! I’ve loved hearing the stories about the adventures strangers took with their dinosaurs this week- everything from costco runs to big team meetings to first therapy appointments.

Reset your brain in silly ways to add more joy to your life in tiny bursts. Keep your dino in your pocket or on your desk within eyesight. When you see them, I guarantee you will get a ping of dopamine. Sometimes, all you need is a silly little companion in your pocket to remind you that all this adulting bullshit you have to do today is really not that serious.

Monday is coming…are you ready? #thehappymondayproject
