How Dopamine is responsible for Everyday Struggle in your life

 Okay first of all I wanna clarify this is my personal experience. But I'm a human being too (though I'm better than everybody else or the 'best' as the cool kids call me) so I guess you guys can relate to this. These points mainly applicable for students as this is my experience and I am a Student.

1. Connection between Dopamine and Your Problems: 

• Start with a late night. Assuming you are not taking caffeine before sleep, have you ever wondered why you stay up late at night? Well one of the reasons could be your brain find sleep a boring thing. Didn't understand? Think for a minute. All day long you are doing high dopamine activities like playing video games, watching Netflix, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, hanging out with friends and now all of a sudden you are telling your brain to stop everything and sleep. Isn't it boring? Though you are dripping in sleep, your brain is forcing you not to sleep and you are still watching YouTube or scrolling Social Media pages with a half naked eyes.                           
• Now because of this as expected you wake up late. As usual you are angry for sleeping late in the morning cause you made a lot of plans. So you are not happy in the very beginning of your day. Remember you can't even happily brush your teeth or talk to your family members. One of reasons cause you are pissed of for waking up late another reason is as in the night you do all of those high dopamine stuff and fall asleep unconsciously your brain find brushing your teeth or talking with somebody boring and naturally you got frustrated.                                                           
• Let's get into the most important thing in your life now which is Studying(Assuming you want to make a carrier in Education). You are already frustrated for waking up late, then you have done all those stupid stuff like brushing teeth, eating and now you are going to do Study !!! How boring is that!! Now you have taken enough. You can't take any bad things anymore. To escape from all of this you start doing something which gives you nice feelings, you start watching YouTube or scrolling your Social Media pages just to give yourself momentary pleasures.                      
• Like this you have killed your study time, skipped your online classes. Now you have taken bath, have your lunch; by that time your head is aching cause you just had consume internet for last 24 hours. You wanna sleep  now but you can't because it's low dopamine activity.  As you are in a no mood of consuming internet but your brain still want dopamine so you start thinking about fapping, cause it not only releases dopamine but also throw Testosterone out of your body which makes you feel less energetic and sleepy. But at that same time you start becoming anxious for make yourself dirty. That's a whole new chapter.

                                                            So, basically the things that you go through may look random but Dopamine could be the one reason for all of this if analyze carefully.

      

      2.  Possible Solutions:

• One of the way I control my action is by analyzing my day to day activity. Like, give yourself a little time to go through your day, I do this before sleep where I ask myself what are the things I did right or didn't, where I just genuinely waste my time, how can I avoid procrastination next time if I am in a same situation.                                                                                                                                   Basically you have to talk with yourself about everything in a day to day schedule.                                                                                                                                                
• I always try to remember that quote " When boring things become interesting, then you never feel bored in your life". Do some meditation, try to connect with nature, give yourself little boredom and use that time to think about your life, future, daily scheduling. Try to make it a habit.
• Last but definitely not least you need a strong "Why" in your life. Why this urge to change yourself to make a better person, why the necessity to feel yourself bored where you could just waste your time in things which would release huge amount of dopamine to make you feel better. So my point is you need a long term vision to tackle this time of daily problems.                                               I know this is not easy. But you shouldn't stop trying. "A little Progress each day adds up to big result".                                                                                                                               I hope these points will help you tackle your daily problems to increase your productivity and happiness.
