Leverage Dopamine to Overcome Procrastination & Optimize Effort
The Effect of Dopamine on Desire
AI Key Takeaways
- Dopamine is released in anticipation of what we want.
- This increase in dopamine is by no happenstance, no mistake.
- This relates to our propensity and desire to move.
- Remember earlier I told you there's a separate circuit of dopamine that triggers movement and that when it's depleted is causing things like deficits and movement related to Parkinson's or other movement disorders?
- Well, that's not pure coincidence. That's because desire and the need to move in order to pursue and reach goals are one in the same process.
- So if I desire a sandwich or I desire a cup of coffee or I desire some water when I'm thirsty, there's an increase in dopamine that we could call a little mini peak in dopamine.
- But then here's the key thing. Very soon after I realized my desire for something, that peak that was caused by the desire comes down and drops below baseline, below the level of dopamine that it was prior to even thinking about the sandwich or the coffee or the glass of water.
- And it's that drop below baseline that triggers my desire to go out and find that sandwich, that coffee, that water or that blank, insert whatever it is that you happen to desire action or substance of any kind or person, etc.
