Dopamine nation
“We’re all running from pain. We’ll do almost anything to distract ourselves from ourselves” … cierro un grandísimo libro que habla del efecto de la dopamina en nuestro cerebro y de cómo nos podemos volver adictos no sólo a sustancias, sino también a conductas lo cual hoy en día, es muy común y más si hablamos de todas las cosas que se ponen de moda (inmersiones en hielo y ayuno intermitente, por mencionar algunos)
“The world is sensory rich and casual poor. When our lived experience diverges from our projected image, we are prone to feel detached and unreal, as fake as the false images we’ve created” … miles de personas diariamente proyectan vidas falsamente felices en las redes, familias “unidas”, matrimonios “felices”, hijos “perfectos” y tantas otras cosas que poco a poco se van convirtiendo en conductas adictivas.
Existen grupos de apoyo para casi todo y si supiéramos aprovecharlos, cambiaría la vida de muchos pues: “Club goods are strengthened by active participation in group activities and gatherings, and by adherence to group rules and norms”, y por clubes, me refiero a cualquier actividad.
Debemos aprender a ver nuestras fortalezas, confiar y ser honestos con nosotros mismos para así poder ser felices haciendo lo que nos gusta, es por eso que:
“I urge you to find a way to immerse yourself fully in the life that you’ve been given. To stop running from whatever you’re trying to escape, and instead to stop, and face whatever it is”
P.D. SÈ TU MISMO!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 11/31
