TJ Power: 我年轻时曾沉迷于酒精和毒品,这让我意识到需要更好地管理我的多巴胺。我通过学习神经科学知识,并进行自我调整,最终克服了多巴胺失衡的问题。现代社会充斥着各种快速获得多巴胺的方式,例如色情、糖、社交媒体和酒精,这些会让人上瘾,并导致多巴胺水平下降。我们需要关注大脑化学物质,例如多巴胺、催产素、血清素和内啡肽,来设定新的目标并改善生活。多巴胺负责驱动和动力,努力工作能提升多巴胺,而快速获得的快乐会降低多巴胺。催产素连接人与人之间的关系;血清素影响情绪,可以通过健康饮食、户外活动和睡眠来提升;内啡肽可以缓解压力,剧烈运动可以释放内啡肽。我们需要找到平衡,避免过度依赖快速多巴胺,并培养对慢速多巴胺的追求。 Brittany & Laura: 新年决心往往失败是因为12月过度刺激多巴胺,然后骤降,导致新年决心难以维持。我们常常因为没有先调整内在因素(例如多巴胺失衡)而导致新年计划失败。关注大脑化学物质有助于设定新的目标。了解大脑化学物质能帮助人们建立健康生活方式的稳定结构。适度无聊对大脑有益,可以帮助大脑恢复多巴胺。在自然环境中独处,有助于提升血清素,缓解焦虑。现代社会的一切都对我们的脑部化学物质有害,我们需要学会在现代社会中保护自己的脑部化学物质。 TJ Power: 清晨如何与手机互动会影响全天的脑部化学物质。如果清晨从手机或电子产品获取多巴胺,会让人一整天都陷入成瘾模式。低动力可能是因为过度使用手机导致多巴胺耗尽。我们可以通过控制与手机的互动来控制自己的动力。在自然环境中进行多巴胺禁食,有助于减少对快速多巴胺的依赖。意志力是可以培养的,可以通过训练大脑中负责意志力的区域来增强。经常锻炼意志力可以使大脑中负责意志力的区域变得更大更强。我们需要从小培养孩子的意志力,让他们做一些他们不愿意做的事情,可以增强他们的意志力。我们需要避免让孩子过度接触快速多巴胺来源,有助于他们未来更好地应对生活挑战。社交媒体无法替代真实的人际交往。每天清晨坚持一个简单的例行活动,例如不看手机,可以改变全年生活。

Shownotes Transcript

New Year, New You is a bit outdated, but in January many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives—whether it’s forming healthier habits, becoming more focused, or simply feeling happier. But how often do we think about how our brain chemistry plays into all this? Today, we’re joined by neuroscientist, international speaker, and author of The DOSE Effect, TJ Power. His work focuses on small, practical habits that can help us regulate our brain's key chemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Today we chat about:

How the modern world affects our brain chemistry.

Quick fix and crash dopamine - porn, sugar,  social media, alcohol.

Why we hate being bored and why boredom is good for us.

The new 5 minute morning routine that will change the rest of your day.

How different types of communication affects oxytocin - texting = 0, calling = some. 

How porn is affecting our brains and our relationships.

Whether we have control over our willpower or not.

Kids and entertainment vs boredom
