So much. I literally struggled so much with the addiction to everything. I lived for 10 years in a life where I just wasn't completing the challenging activities that life has to offer. I lived in easy dopamine. So I relate massively to We tried to convince ourselves to go to the gym this morning. It was brutal to get ourselves there.

But I had this today and I was thinking, no, I'm going to elevate my dopamine through this hard work in the gym. That's going to put me in a more motivated state. It gives me a high likelihood to have a good attention span during this conversation. So I think considering the ultimate outcome of the action and how it's going to impact your day ahead is key.

There is this fundamental principle of dopamine that I really want people to understand, though. And then with this idea, rather than needing to go on Instagram and think, okay, what are those good dopamine activities and what are the bad ones? With this simple principle, you just know.

And whilst obviously it's good to look at those posts on Instagram, that's what I post all the time, having this base understanding is very motivating. This chemical evolved within us for a very long time. And it evolved for one simple reason, to promote the survival of our species. Without dopamine, we simply wouldn't be here.

We would have never pushed ourselves to scratch rocks together for three hours to make the fire to keep our family warm. We would never would have gone through a Sahara desert for three hours in order to find a little bit of fruit to keep our family alive. It was rewarding the ridiculously challenging activities that kept us alive.

Just as dopamine for all that time had a very sophisticated way of communicating with humanity to keep us doing the hard things, nowadays we're experiencing the opposite message from this chemical. Fundamentally, dopamine knows at its core that over engaging with pornography and no longer having sex with people is not good for the survival of our species.

Eating too much sugar and not eating enough protein is not good for the survival of our species. living a very isolated teenage life and no longer building friendships and working in your school life and scrolling social media is not good for the survival of humanity.

And it's really important to understand that whenever you're engaging in an activity, if you simply observe the activity and think, ultimately, does this increase or decrease my survival? And you think exercise, obviously increase, protein, obviously increase, sugar, obviously decrease, pornography ultimately does technically decrease because it's reducing procreation.

And then you have this fundamental principle. When you then are looking at your activities and thinking, how am I going to engage with my day? You really want to be thinking, how am I going to do activities that are going to lead to my day being the best experience it can be? And this comes down to that difference of, do I just want to feel short-term pleasure or do I want to feel really happy?

And I had these questions with myself in my mind. I went on these walks every day in nature. I literally equate the entirety of my career, my working life, my ability to find my beautiful partner
