What are you addicted to? In my search to make peace, wholeness, and joy mainstays in my life, I'm learning about addiction. It's more than just the typical things I think of like drugs, alcohol, and even s*x.
For example, I can't stand for my mind to be unoccupied, to be bored. So, I fill my time with things that reward my desire for the new and novel - things that interest and occupy me. Scrolling, cooking and eating, lots of things, actually.
In order to recognize what's true, I have to be able to recognize the counterfeit.
Here's the key: first, I need to reset my dopamine responses. When I learn to increasingly sit with discomfort I reset my reward pleasure cycle. Over time, Dr. Anna Lembke says, I'll rediscover joy.
I'm getting on that. Watch this and then tell me, what are your resets and how will you get started?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to get motivated, even when you don’t feel like it.
