Episode notes
Focus and Neurochemistry Drive Success
- Success in any endeavor depends heavily on the focus we bring to it amid initial agitation and stress.
- Dopamine release during milestones reduces stress chemicals, extending our capacity to maintain focus and effort.
Dopamine's Role in Motivation
- Dopamine acts as a reward for following the right path, reinforcing productive behaviors.
- Addiction narrows dopamine's focus to fewer pleasures, which is why external rewards often fail.
Self-Reward to Sustain Effort
- Recognize stress and agitation as gateways to deep focus, not signs of failure.
- Reward yourself internally for small milestones to sustain dopamine levels and prolong effort.
