you want to wake up and you want to immediately take action you want to start doing something that's effortful so not only are you not spiking and crashing it and living in that world which is what most of us live in but you're actually going in the opposite direction and dopamine is on the rise and that would involve you wake up you immediately walk to the bathroom and you go to the bathroom

you want to wake up and you want to immediately take action you want to start doing something that's effortful so not only are you not spiking and crashing it and living in that world which is what most of us live in but you're actually going in the opposite direction and dopamine is on the rise and that would involve you wake up you immediately walk to the bathroom and you go to the bathroom

After you've been to the bathroom, if you're sitting there and you're going to the toilet, you've got to have a book in there to entertain you if you're going to potentially go on your phone. Then you're engaging in effortful reading and that's much, much better. Books are way better for our dopamine because they're challenging, not easy. Then use flash cold water on your face.

You brush your teeth and you brush your teeth properly. And then you walk back to your bedroom and you make your bed. So very simply, you wake, you don't go on your phone, you go to the bathroom, you brush your teeth, you splash cold water on your face, and you make your bed. You've experienced a drastically different situation from a neurochemistry point of view.

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.

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.
