why are hobbies therapuetic
You ever wonder why hobbies help out so much?
Well basically what happens is doing things we enjoy releases the chemical dopamine - the wonderful brainjuice responsible for our motivation and pleasure.
That's why hobbies make you productive as well
You can use them as tool, whether as a reward or partaking in a hobby before a boring task, use the dopamine from the hobby for the other task

One of the cool and amazing parts of our body I agree! I think understanding the biological results of certain things are a great way to restructure our mindset and maintain our mental health. Certain activities result in more cortisol release leading to stress, others lead to release of dopamine like you mentioned which leads to happiness!
@sunnyWriting4806 Yes exactly! Knowing the scientific basis behind our actions can be so helpful and insightful
It can also take away feelings of guilt and shame in certain cases
I find it very very helpful and important
