2. Exercise
3. Meditation
4. Sex
5. Activities that induce a meditation state through gentle, repetitive, intellectually unstimulating activities like walking, ironing, showering, etc
6. Listening to music, especially lively music with a strong beat such as dance tunes
7. Doing art

Does anyone know of any other potent ways to stimulate dopamine release in the brain without taking pharmaceutical medications?

Thank you

Reducing your anti-oxidants are supposed to increase dopamine levels as well as dopamine is easily oxidized.
