Life is really hard now bc it`s really boring. We do not even need to leave our house if we have enough finances to support that. People with addictions need more friction. They are not happy because their brain is not meant to be that “bored”. People are not aware that life is hard. Pleasure and Pain are co located and when you get pain you also get pleasure and vice versa, so when you were in a very painful relationship you had an eqaually pleasureful comeback all the time. If you had a challenge in your job you were down for some time but super relieved also when it was over. When you eat a lemon it’s bitter but somehow makes you happy. Your workout hurts but releases happy feelings. You do not like to clean your house but afterwards you feel great.
What`s the solution?
If you keep indulging all the time you create a “dopamin deficit state”.
You have to create pain in your life through things that make sense and this is what many people but the 1 percent of most successful people in the world, do not get. Search for painful routines that actually “pay off”!
You have to create “paying off” routines including workouts, waking up early, reading hard books, taking exams, confronting people in a different more thought threw way, spending quality time with yourself instead of actually always sitting in front of your phone…
This is what makes you happy in the long run and the truth is there is no way past that because this is the way life works.
I wish you all the best.
