Dubai is obsessed with Labubus — but is your dopamine getting hijacked? 🧸⚡
Let’s talk about what this trend is doing to your mind and body as a doctor and mental wellness expert.
The excitement of blind-box surprises gives your brain a quick dopamine hit — it’s fun, exciting, and feels rewarding… but is it harmless?
Here’s the reality most people ignore:
⚠️ Obsessive collecting = constant dopamine spikes followed by emotional lows
⚠️ Scarcity hype fuels stress, poor sleep, anxiety, even gut health issues
⚠️ Emotional dependence builds when we use trends as an escape from real life
As a doctor and science-led wellness coach, I love joy and fun — but when trends start controlling your happiness, your mental and physical health pay the price.
✅ Set limits — financially and emotionally
✅ Recognize the difference between real happiness vs. temporary highs
✅ Choose wellness habits that bring sustainable energy, gut balance, and emotional strength
Labubus are cute. But your health is cuter.
Balance the trend — protect your body and mind.”
