Dopamine Triggers Neuroplasticity
Dopamine is one of the strongest triggers of neuroplasticity because it says those actions led to success previously, you're going to repeat those. So cocaine and phenamine are bad because they lower the baseline on life. They make people very focused on things outside of themselves. Dopamine is about reward, but more so about motivation and pursuit of rewards. How do we learn to reframe our mind or rewire our mind so that we can have inner peace when there is trauma or pain around us? Brilliant question. There's never too late to start, but the sooner we start, the better.
