When you get to this place, your dopamine reserves are always dipping below your baseline, creating a deficit. This robs you from the pleasures of natural dopamine rewards from things like hugs, food, cooking, dancing, playing, community and exercise.
Places where you once found meaning.
Places where you found purpose and pleasure for pleasures sake.
It wasn't always a hike AND a micro brew.
No that you KNOW what's happening in your body, you can find out where you are stacking pleasure and do one thing at a time.

Stop multitasking.
Stop eating AND watching TV.
Stop scrolling instagram while you are helping your kids with their home work.
