[QUOTE="Fernando Almaguer, post: 227704, member: 13171"] The answer is to stay away from access to dopamine without effort. Such as drugs, pornography, too much TV, music. Also do not stack, say, music , preworkout and working out as it will make it harder to get that dopamine the next go around. Dopamine is renewable but not infinite. So we need to take breaks sometimes and put effort in when we get our dopamine such as hard work, focus and movement. Dopamine without effort destroys people. I have done ice baths and that adrenaline spike will create a rise in dopamine the same as cocaine. The difference is the spike is long lasting, steadily rising throughout the day and there is no crash. These drugs and cigarettes drive our dopamine baseline down. Another point is after reaching a goal dopamine crashes below baseline and some time is needed for it to come back up. So it is best not to look for stimulus after reaching a goal or after a workout. Allow that baseline to come up naturally and then pursue more. Dopamine is about motivation and movement to gain pleasure. It is not a pleasure molecule itself as often mistaken. [/QUOTE]
