We've had the hot yoga phase, the Pilates phase, the running phase.
I bought us really nice inline skates and we were going rollerblading around our estate.
God, what did the neighbours think?
Anyway, that's a big yes from me.
I mean, big tick from me.
So when I go into research mode, I start with one focus, which let's say I'm booking a hotel.
I need to look at every single hotel that I could possibly stay in, read it, research it, see all the pictures to then make a short list to then make a decision.
But what happens is obviously I read, I'm trying to do it perfect.
So I read everything.
So I burn myself out, but also my memory is bad.
So by the time I've done it all, I've forgotten and then just end up in a loop.
So I have to go back to the beginning.
When I research, when we're going out for dinner, what vacuum cleaner to buy, like anything lets me fall into a research hole of which it can be hard to come out of.
But I do understand why it's chasing dopamine because for the first hour, it can be quite pleasurable.
Number three.
I mean, I have made us move hotels before because I've got there and a dopamine reason why I've booked it.
Let's say there's a warm pool with a bar outside and it's closed or the jacuzzi doesn't work.
It's like a knife to the heart for me, yet it doesn't land great.
