Do you ever feel low and not in the mood to anything but have tons of work to finish before the deadline? I often feel that way, particularly if I don't get enough sleep and I am in that kind of state right now. As much as I want to hit the bed and hug my pillow, I still have to finish some work which are due tomorrow. Now, I have to grab my stimulants to keep me going... :) I must admit, chocolates has been my comfort food and they do keep me alert. My dependence on chocolates, if you can call it that, started when I was still in college and I discovered that chocolates has kept my mind active and alert especially during those nights when I need to prepare for my exams. Obviously, up to this day I still depend on chocolates to keep me awake and my mind active.
I have read that chocolates normally contains tyrosine which is converted to a stimulant called dopamine and this actually causes alertness and restless. Hmmmmm...this explains why I feel so energized after eating a bar of chocolate.
I guess, we all have our own comfort zones and comfort foods...In fact I know a good writer who cannot write a decent article without lighting his cigar and he particularly loves romeo y julieta. He is such a brilliant writer, but without his cigar and an ice-cold beer, his mind goes blank.
How about you? What keeps you going?
