EASY dopamine and it's destructive effect on MOTIVATION

Let's Keep Talking with Braxton Gilbert

Today I want to talk about why I am officially stopping watching pornography, and more broadly about any and all forms of easy-access dopamine and how it can reel havoc in your life when it comes to trying to stay disciplined, organized, and responsible.
Dopamine is like an Easter egg. Running around, climbing up trees, looking in bushes are all difficult challenging things to do. They require effort. If you went out looking for candy filled / or money filled eggs, and you didn’t find any, you would stop pretty quickly, and the game would be over. But if you found one after a little searching you would feel excitement to keep looking, and then finding another would still make you want to keep playing. Essentially, the eggs are a reward for playing the game, for participating in the hunt. They keep you engaged and interested in playing.
This is how your brain works with dopamine. There are things that are beneficial for you to do, eating, sex, exercise, yoga, etc. So your brain hides a little candy filled egg on the other side of completing these tasks! You do the task you get the egg.
With technological innovation, we have been able to find ways to get Easter eggs without any work at all. (Or barely any)
