*Thread* - Biology makes psychology

Ignore the pseudo philosophers, chest beating 'alpha' bros, & psychological dweebs

Motivation, energy & discipline is NOT mental

(e)motion is energy in motion

Lacking energy & having to study 'mental models' for discipline to get anything done is not normal

Your parents & their parents weren't watching motivational & 'stoic' content to figure out how to have energy

They just got things done & had energy

- Blood Pressure
- Resting Heart Rate
- Hemoglobin (Blood Sugar)
- Testosterone
- Thyroid
- Liver

All of these you can get tested tomorrow for around $150

Direct visit to the lab, no doctors appointment needed

The hormones mentioned above once tested can help identify with accuracy a root

Emotions are symptoms
Symptoms are data

It's your body communicating to you

Thinking does not resolve the amount of energy flowing through you

Here's where it gets interesting...

Stress = Tension & Density

Tension & Density = less flow of current

Less flow of current = lower energy in motion

Lower energy in motion = lower vibration

Lower vibration = not resonating with higher energy behaviors/mindsets/actions/beliefs

Stressors are chaos (dis-order/dis-ease)

> Chemical - Food, substances

> Environmental - dust/allergens/mold/toxins

Social, stimulation, temperature, lack of sun

> Physical - muscle tension, nervous system, etc

The more stressors present mean the 5 physical senses heighten

Which lowers the 6th senses - intelligence, intuition, imagination

5 physical senses heightened is a lingering fight, flight, freeze response

Thinking becomes binary, black & white

Unable to process information

The creates a higher brainwave state (high beta)

Reactive instead of proactive
Anxious instead of awareness
Doubtful instead of decisive

'Alpha' comes from the brainwave states

It's not a 'mental model' or chest beating thing

The Alpha brainwave state is:

- Decisive
- Proactive
- Confident
- Disciplined

Lo-beta is the optimal state for learning. Awareness to absorb information without being anxious

and without being gullible & accepting everything with no processing/thinking

ATP = Energy

You can read motivational quotes & watch discipline hustle videos until your eyeballs fry

It won't change the biochemical processes to produce ATP

Biology makes psychology

The hormones/stressors mentioned impact the ATP cycle

Another bit of biology - dopamine receptors

Burnt out over stimulated dopamine receptors essentially make it impossible to:

- Focus
- Enjoy anything
- Feel the desire to do anything

Lacking energy, motivation, confidence, & discipline

Is not something you think your way out of

We skipped over a lot,

This thread was to quickly introduce that biology makes psychology

Let me know if you'd like to see more on this topic

this was very sloppily put together in 5 minutes off the top of my head lol

if we get a good response i'll definitely put out proper & more structured articles, pdfs, and threads on this concept

so many key bits were left out of the thread I just realized haha
