Your amygdala (emotional brain center) tell your Nucleus Accumbens (reward brain center) that it needs to feel better
Neurotransmitters flood your prefrontal/frontal cortex that push you into action
Hello reward!
Dopamine = motivation, pleasure, focus/memory
Noradrenaline= Energy, concentration, Alertness
Serotonin = Calmness, positive mood, sleep
But they all negatively affect you
How that happens is different for everyone
Understand that it’s just a coping mechanism
You repeat & repeat them like a broken record
The high feels awesome so you want more
Not noticing the damage you're causing to your brain
Eventually you get so unbalanced & realize that there’s a problem

Unhealthy Eating
Procrastination
Impulsiveness
