In today's episode we talked about the pleasure and pain balance that is oftentimes used to explain the acting mechanism of dopamine in our brains. We go over multiple tricks you can utilize to reinstate balance between pain and pleasure in your brain. Here is what you'll learn:Dopamine from scrolling, swiping, and constant stimulation gives you short bursts of pleasure — but over time, it lowers your baseline for joy, and you start needing more and more just to feel “normal” again.Small acts of discomfort — like talking to a stranger in real life, cleaning your room, or doing physical exercise — activate the brain’s delayed reward systems. You don’t have to give up all pleasure or force yourself into a “hardcore” lifestyle just to be happy. The key is balance and we will help you obtain that.Also, make sure to stick around until the end because we reveal a trend that people are doing online that involves pushing too much on the pain side (which is just as bad).
