Your dopamine is climbing fast and hard. And then whatever else you wanna do that morning, maybe it's that you wanna get out and go for a walk. Maybe you've gotta make your kids breakfast. Maybe you've gotta start your working day. You're starting from a higher baseline dopamine state, which is when you're gonna perform at a really high level with whatever action you're wanting to take.

Rather than climbing out of low dopamine and finding everything annoying and feeling irritated and feeling flat, it's drastically different.

Definitely.

It's central. Imagine waking up as a hunter-gatherer, how much effort they immediately engage with. Instantly. Instantly. They didn't just go and chill. They would have just been up, get the fire going so we've got warmth. Who's going out for the food? Who's rebuilding the shelter? Who's looking after the kids? Like it would have just been wake and go every single day.

And some people come through our Dose experience and they say this is a bit like military training, like waking up, making my bed. And I honestly believe like we are living in a world where we've got to get more disciplined. I don't think a sort of balance, moderation, sometimes phone, sometimes... I don't think that works in the world we have now.

A hundred years ago, moderation might have been great with food and all that sort of stuff. I think we're living in a world where we do have to become a more disciplined species if we want to feel our best.

It is so essential. And I think Just as you and I really believe in how important it is to be in service to people in our world, like contribution is very, very important. It also creates this stimulation of oxytocin, this love hormone within our brain when we serve others. We also have the capacity to contribute and serve ourself. And that is exactly what you're doing.

You're in service to yourself. And it isn't actually serving yourself by going straight in the phone when we wake up. And just as I explained earlier with how clever our dopamine is at reinforcing the positive action, it's going to send us a message saying, this isn't what I want. Like, I'm a body here and I want to be thriving. I want my hormones to be calm.

I want my whole body to be in a good stay. And when you live that lifestyle that you just described, your brain is going to send you a great message saying, please continue this path. And then your happiness rises. And we're, as a society right now, very much in the pursuit of pleasure, not happiness. And that is the pursuit of happiness. The alternative option is the pursuit of pleasure.
