Motivation is Perishable | Ep. 52
Are you one of the many people who have already given up on their New Year's resolutions?
In this episode, Anthony explores the science behind why motivation is perishable and why we tend to lose interest in our goals after a few weeks.
Anthony observed that people typically give up on their goals or resolutions around the three-week mark. He shares his experience of losing interest in projects and getting easily distracted by new endeavors.
He delves into the neurobiology behind motivation and the role of dopamine, the "fascinating little neurochemical," in driving feelings of happiness, well-being, and motivation.
However, Anthony argues that people often set goals and talk about them, creating a premature dopamine burst, before actually doing the hard work.
This tricks the brain into feeling rewarded, leading people to lose motivation and adapt to the artificial dopamine loop.
Ultimately, Anthony suggests that the key to avoiding this pattern is to embrace the discomfort of the hard work and focus on the process rather than the result.
