NEUROSCIENTIST - You Will NEVER Lose Motivation AGAIN!

Let's learn a little how to operate our machinery. I agree that in this culture we don't teach people how to operate their mind and body. How can you motivate yourself well? One way to do this is if you are good at subjectively attaching dopamine to the machine. search just know okay, I'm really hungry for this. I'm just going to tell myself that you know, let you know, getting one percent of the way there is a success and I'm going to keep going and I'm going to keep going. keep moving forward and then the other aspect is that every time we lean towards action, you know it has the possibility of being an amplification process or a depletion process and the key to that is to make sure that you are To balance the dopamine systems and epinephrine, we have to remember that this dopamine and goal-seeking mechanism is in all animals, humans, dogs, sheep, so a grazing animal could be in a really arid landscape, they're going in some direction and they don't smell the water. they can do and then they go off course and then all of a sudden they smell a little bit of water that's when dopamine is released, not when they get the water and drink from it, which gives them energy to get There you know. , you think about walking through the desert and you are dying of thirst and suddenly you see a big lake, suddenly you

will

have energy to run the remaining mile, whereas before you thought you were going to die.

How is that? How come it's not like there's suddenly more glycogen available? It's not like ketones do it for you. So what was it? It's dopamine. It is the release of dopamine. That says there's a reward waiting for me now. I would say that finally in 2020 we

will

finally be like Field has a clear idea of ​​how dopamine really works if you can start to register that longing and that friction and that desire, that almost low level of agitation, sometimes a high level of agitation, it is That is, I am trying to impose my will. in the world in a benevolent way, we hope it is dopamine, it is working with its c

lose

cousin which is epinephrine, which is adrenaline, they are very c

lose

because, in fact, dopamine produces epinephrine, many people don't know this, but adrenaline It is actually produced from the molecule. the dopamines are fine, so those two are together, it's like longing to work, longing to work, working cowardly, working cowardly, longing to work and then the wind comes and some people allow the big dopamine spike to be associated with the wind and the Smart people learn to adjust their celebration.

Internally, this is all internal. You could throw the biggest party in the world, but as long as you're a little relaxed and watch this without letting yourself go crazy, you won't necessarily fail your system so hard and too soon. it will reset so you take the day you wash the dishes you relax you go what now I feel a little depressed well instead of going out and increasing your dopamine

again

just wait understand that the scale will reset

again

give yourself a few days in which you will feel a little upset. Things won't be as interesting.

It will be difficult to trigger that big release because you just peaked. If you adapt, you relax, you understand that there is always a little. of a postpartum depression, sometimes we hear about postpartum depression that it is a clinical issue, but there is always that kind of today is not as exciting as the previous days, what am I going to do with my life? But then if you let it start speeding up again, what? You realize that your ability to harness dopamine as a motivator, not just to seek dopamine rewards, is infinite and I can say with great certainty that this is how you were able to build a great company and sell it as you have been able to. create a successful podcast and sell it as you constantly seek because seeking is the reward and I think for most people we think of the reward as the finish line and therefore the key is to get to the finish line, get in in the end zone, but there is no end. zone dance is like yeah and now I'm going to do it again.

The way we see the world is shaping the release of these chemicals and I believe this happens when we think positive thoughts. We get up if we can. a boost from our positive thoughts and then dopamine itself puts us in relationship with the outside world so that we see that the outside world has more possibilities, which will give us a push forward. They are good, there are many studies that support it. That the key to positive thinking is that it has to be honest, it can't be. I already won. You know, I don't have an Olympic gold medal.

If I could tell myself I'll get a morning. but I just don't have the skills, so that won't release dopamine into my system. The key is that you can't just speed up all the time without rewarding yourself, it's mental energy, it's the desire to keep going and we need some steady doses of dopamine over the course of days or months. to have more energy to keep going, that's right, but we don't want to be chased too much because then we'll burn out, that's right and So everyone has to find where that sweet spot is. Today there is a lot of interest in similar habits and habit formation because when you move that Horizon and close it and complete something small, it is not about what you completed, but the fact that you completed it. so one thing to understand is that the release of dopamine in the brain is always subjective, there is no experience that says that you have a single domain over the release of dopamine that will only allow the release of dopamine, so yes it is very subjective , if I say to myself, I'm going to To get into the process of doing something, we have a new year ahead of us, so there will be many resolutions soon.

It is not like this. If you attach the release of dopamine to the process of effort or goal setting, you will have more energy. This takes effort and then if you can link the release of dopamine to the belief that you are at least going in the right direction, you will have more energy to keep moving in the right direction. People make the mistake of thinking that the positive thinking process should be necessary. Being attached to the finish line is not about thinking about one that already exists, it is not about deceiving yourself, it is about thinking that your training will take you to the finish line and therefore it is about bringing that mental horizon closer and closer. and then activate it some kind of positive internal representation of what you're doing, that is, think positive and people usually this is where they stop me and people say wait, but it sounds so subjective, tell me exactly how to do it, but this is what Which I thought I was supposed to do.

Be subjective, this is for you, it's true, yes, everyone needs to figure out what allows them to continue moving forward, what allows them to limit the world of possibilities and go after goals and how often to reward themselves, because the key is the word itself because if you start seeking only external rewards is when you no longer have control of your dopamine system, make sure that you really enjoy that reward, you really appreciate what you have done and what has come to you and but and here is a It is very important, but take that feeling of being saturated with dopamine, the big victory, and attach it to the process of effort that got you there, thank you.
