I'm not doing that.

But the problem with that is it doesn't raise your happiness.

And the reason is because

you are also programming into your brain that satisfaction will come when you have more.

I'm finally going to have enough time on, you know, looking at Instagram reels.

You're not.

You're not because that's not how the brain works.

The brain is completely insatiable for that.
