The source of this topic is 【Why do you always feel bored? ] The blogger mentioned the dopamine baseline and how to deal with dopamine troughs. It is very useful for reference, so I took notes to facilitate review and study.
Boredom is the disgusting state of wanting to do something satisfying but unable to do so.
When we do something pleasurable, our dopamine levels go above baseline, then drop below baseline, and return to above baseline over time.
If you are happy repeatedly, you are not happy. It will make our baseline lower and lower, and the result will be that it becomes more and more difficult for us to do things that require effort to do well, and we will be addicted to simple pleasures.
What we have to do is to improve the baseline, the specific method can be:
-
Exposure to sunlight for 10-30 minutes is better than in dim light
-
Getting enough sleep (7-9 hours of sleep per day)
-
Tyrosine (sesame cheese, beef, fish, nuts 0
-
A little caffeine (before 12:00, you can drink it or not)
Then there is how to deal with the dopamine low?
Do something harder than the one in front of you, and your body will quickly release dopamine, which means doing something that makes you uncomfortable.
The reason why you are bored by the things in front of you may be (a sense of control). To deal with this situation, it is not to try to change immediately, but to find a way to focus on a small place
There are highs and there are lows. Put the limited dopamine into meaningful places for yourself, focus on the present, improve your level, and enhance your personal value.
If you do one thing for a long time, it is best not to superimpose other dopamine-stimulating things, such as doing things superimposed with music + friends + eating and drinking. If these superimposed things are removed, we will not like it.
