Beef Time Q&A 

it's magnificent

Motivation is actually quite different from discipline and shouldnt be underestimated or disregarded as a tool to get people to do what they want to do. Neurochemically, motivation to pursue a reward is governed by dopamine. When you pursue something in anticipation for a great reward only to find out the reward wasnt as great as you thought it would be, your dopamine baseline lowers, i.e. you are LESS motivated to pursue not only that reward but any reward in general. So for example, what is actually happening neurochemically to someone who really cant get off the couch to go exercise, despite always giving themselves an internal pep talk, who instead just finds themselves scrolling through YT or Tiktok vids not being able to pursue the things they WANT to pursue? What is happening is that they are doing very minimal work by scrolling trying to pursue a reward in the form of videos which are not very fulfilling. Even though these vids arent fulfilling, they are still giving pleasure to the brain, and after this pleasure from attaining the reward comes a sort of mental "pain" that balances it out. For example, you got a christmas gift you've always wanted after having saved up for it, and then theres always a feeling of a "What now?" kind of emptiness that comes after big achievements like this. This happens on a smaller scale with scrolling and consuming social media too, getting a hit of pleasure from a video, having that pleasure dip down to a "what now?" feeling, and then in response to that "what now?" your brain uses dopamine to motivate you to seek another video in pusuit of that pleasurable feeling again, except now your baseline dopamine is lower (you feel a little bit less motivated to do ANYTHING). But scrolling isnt much effort so it costs very little to pursue the reward of vids that become decreasingly pleasurable the more you consume them. This pursuit, pleasure, pain, lower baseline dopamine is happening like what, every 20 seconds or so in the case of even just watching motivational weightloss tiktoks? In the end a lot of people who dont have motivation and cant get off the couch to do anything have exhausted their brain's reward centers. This is similar to how addiction works, like you wouldn't tell an opium addict to just "have dicipline" like it'll fix all their problems. So the question is, how do you actually take advantage of motivation to work FOR you instead of just offloading all the work onto "discipline" which is still needed and important but distinctly different from motivation? Cutting out all the little pleasure hits from unimportant things helps, and its not just social media, it can be food related, gaming related, the little notification pings on your phone from that app you downloaded but never use, etc. Literally sitting down and being bored for a whole day doing nothing will help refresh your baseline dopamine to better levels. Consistency while in pursuit of a goal can be formed by attaching pleasure to the pursuit more than the reward itself. So truly enjoy working out even if you turn into a bit of a masochist about it rather than finding pleasure in dropping 3 lbs off the scale at the end of the day, or finally fitting into the bikini or wedding dress. Because if you attach that much pleasure in fitting into clothing for example, what else will your brain seek in order to get a pleasure hit after the "what now?". If exercise itself isnt the pleasure youve trained yourself to keep seeking, your brain might as well pursue less healthier things as a substitute like binge eating or binge watching videos, etc.

PS "Consistency while in the pursuit of a goal" is otherwise known as "Discipline"

thankyou!

Não, mano, ela não fala. Só porque ela falou algumas frases traduzidas com um sotaque não tão forte e que ela com certeza escutou a pronúncia correta antes, não quer dizer nada, simplesmente não é uma língua que ela fala e pronto. Você não vai ver americano dizendo pra brasileiros: “oh, you speak my own native language better than me omg lol” só porque ela pronúncia alguma coisinha à nível A2 sem dificuldades; se vai simpar, simpa direito.

@@theinvinciblewinner kkkkkkkkk cara pra que um puta texto desse? Kkkkkkkkkk to simpando não só fiz um elogio exagerado Ficou muito mordido mano
