Ways To Increase 
 
  • Blessing your mind, eyes, and soul with artwork by Miss Ji

  • You could go pay $30-40+ for more indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, anxiety, anxiousness, and the feeling of agitated all compressed into anti-depressant tablets. 
  • You could put yourself on a strict exercise regiment of a grueling 30-minutes of your precious 24-hours 
  • You could meditate for another 5 of your oh so beloved 24-hours  
  • You could set a goal to actually do those things and achieve them (if you are experiencing a lack of serotonin good luck motivating yourself to keep going, but hey go for it!) 
  • You could skip all of that, find a piece of paper, grab a marking tool (pencil, pen, marker, paintbrush, crayon, glue, glitter, tomato; whatever you can find), and go create art with Miss Ji.
Ways to Decrease 
  • Caffeine limits the amount of tryptophan hydroxylase
  • Alcohol temporarily boosts serotonin and chronically decreases it
  • Poor diet; neurotransmitters require certain proteins, minerals, and vitamins (called co-factors) in order to function. With poor nutrition, your body will not be able to produce those co-factors needed henceforth causing a neurotransmitter imbalance. 
  • Stress 
  • Heavy metals 
  • Drug Abuse 
  • NutraSweet 
  • Antidepressants
  • Lack Of Sunlight
