DAN KOEMental Masturbation
The process of raising dopamine in the
brain by telling people your goals,
plans, and how you want to change but
never actually doing anything about it.
If you want to achieve anything great,
it needs to become your number one
overwhelming desire. The only thing
on your mind. Nobody accidentally
got rich. Nobody accidentally built a
great physique. They were obsessed
with it for multiple years until they
no longer had to think about it. Like
a professional basketball player who
can hit 3 pointers without thinking
about it. It became second nature.
Your brain is literally reshaping itself
right now based on what you're
learning and thinking about.
Dopamine spikes more during goal
pursuit than achievement. When you
imagine a better future, it activates
the same brain networks as if you
were experiencing it. Every single
moment of focused attention is a
chance to rewire your brain in
alignment with the person you want
to become.
