When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

As a Blue Jays fan & Blue Rodeo Fan - we had a huge scheduling conflict last night! Whispers of score updates were quietly shared & "Let's Go Blue Jays" filled the arena before the encore & at the end of the show! A great Canadian night!⚾️🎸🇨🇦 #BlueJays #bluerodeo

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN
The Toronto Blue Jays take a 1-0 series lead over the Dodgers to begin the World Series.
An explosive 9-run 6th inning, highlighted by an Addison Barger Grand Slam, propels the Jays to victory. What a night. What a start for Toronto. Back at it tomorrow.

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁
