Mouth breathing shrinks your brain. Nasal breathing grows it. One oxygen route fuels anxiety. The other fuels focus. Close your mouth. Breathe through your nose. Thank you.

You don’t need a week in a cabin to reset dopamine. You need to stop drip-feeding your brain stimulation 24/7. Go 1 day without the easy hits. Watch how much hungrier you feel for real work.

If you need constant dopamine hits, you’ll never get anything hard done. Cut the cheap rewards. Make effort itself the thing your brain craves again

Your brain gets more dopamine imagining success than achieving it. Use that: visualize the next win before you act. Anticipation drives momentum.

Motivation isn’t magic. It’s dopamine in motion. Your brain releases it when it expects success, so make your path viable.

You’re addicted to anticipation, not outcomes. That’s how dopamine works. Hack it: Stack tiny, achievable goals → keep your brain hooked on progress.

Why do unfinished tasks nag you? Dopamine. Your brain releases it when you expect progress. Use it: Visualize the next step. Anticipation drives action.

Dopamine isn’t about the reward. It’s about the chase. Your brain spikes dopamine when you anticipate a win, not when you win. Set clear targets. Feel the pull. Stay in motion.

Your brain doesn’t care about finishing big projects. It cares about progress. Every small win = dopamine spike = momentum. Break it down. Reward yourself often. Build drive.

Procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s a dopamine deficit. Split your work into bite-sized milestones. Each one hits your brain’s reward system → keeps you moving

Dopamine isn’t just the “pleasure chemical.” It’s a motivation signal. When you anticipate a reward, dopamine rises → driving you to act. Hack: Break big tasks into smaller milestones. Each completion gives a dopamine bump that keeps you moving.

During sleep, the brain decreases glucose usage by 40% and oxygen usage by only 15%.

Fun Fact: What separates the human brain from other mammalian brains is our cortex. It gives us higher order thinking and the ability to think in different contexts. Ours is much larger and more defined compared to other mammals.
