The role of dopamine is key for motivation and confidence.

This is a very brief

explanation of the role of dopamine. Explained on a very low level so don't take
everything literally, its just to illustrate the broader concepts
What is opamine
opamine is the substance your body releases in order to motivate you to perform certain
activities. !ts role is basically to keep your striving and choosing activities that increase
your possibilities of survival and replication.
When you see food """# opamine release """# $our are motivated to get the food
%ot girl ""# opamine release ""# &otivation to get girl
Essentially '(( the things you do are related to dopamine. !f you remove dopamine you
will loose all motivation and just lie still.
)o how is dopamine released and how does it correlate to confidence
opamine can be released basically in two ways
*. Through stimulus from your senses, like if you see or smell food, see a hot girl etc.
+. Through thought, thinking is another way to release dopamine, you can think about
food and dopamine is released to motivated you to get it. $ou can also think about your
business and dopamine is released to motivate you to work hard and grow your business
which ultimately is connected to your survival.
%ere comes the kicker, dopamine can only be released if the pathway has been built
between what you want and the actions to ac,uire them.
-or example, you are fat and you wan to start exercise, you know that going to the gym
will make you healthier and that it has many benefits. )o by thinking about the gym you
will get dopamine released.
%owever then you start to do the activities, like going to the gym. 't first you don't see
any results and thus your body cant connect dopamine to going to the gym, so you are not
motivated to continue going to the gym.
There is no evidence that going to the gym is correlated to greater health etc, there is for
you logically but your body has not accepted i yet, and thus it will not release the
appropriate amount of dopamine to make you go to the gym. !n fact in can withdraw
dopamine because it feels that you can be at home resting instead of going to the gym
expiring energy.
.oing to the gym """# no seen short term benefits """# no dopamine """"# no habit
building
This is why its so hard to form habits, because dopamine will only be released after
enough evidence or reference experiences linking that activity to the desired outcome.
opamine is also correlated to confidence, if the link between activity and outcome is
very strong you will get a strong dopamine release and will feel very confident.
)o in a way confidence is directly correlated to dopamine release, and dopamine release
is correlated to reference experience. )o by increasing your skills you get a more and
more dopamine released in correlation to the activities.
rugs and dopamine
i will not go into detail about drugs and dopamine release, you can just imagine that when
you take the drug you an high and long lasting dopamine rush. /y doing this many times
you build pathways that say
rug """ # high dopamine release ""# habit forming
The drug will slowly climb on your order of priority and with a very strong drug like
cocaine it will eventually become as important for you as food etc.
Taking &&' can give you a glimpse of strong dopamine released and how that
overrides all fear and makes you feel extremely confident. The only way to replicate that
is to have fucked maybe 01"*112 girls so that there is no ,uestion what so ever in your
mind that you can get the girl you want.
$ou can also get a glimpse of it with social momentum explained below
opamine and mental masturbation
!f you sit at home thinking about inner game and 34 you will have dopamine released
and you will continue to read and think about it. %owever you will never reach a point
where that thinking will give you the same dopamine release when you actually go out.
What you will feel when you are out at the club is two conflicting emotions
*. ' small release of dopamine to motivate you to go for the girl, however this is a very
small release and since you never have had hot girls they are outside of your reality and
thus your dopamine levels will be low
+. $ou will also feel fear connected with social humiliation etc.
$our body has an internal priority system where survival comes before sex, so therefore
if you don't have enough dopamine released when you see the hot girl your fear will have
the upper hand and it will keep you in your place. !ts only dopmine that can overide fear.
This is also correlated to social momentum, if you bombard your system with references
that the fear is not justified then it will let go of the fear and thus )E5 will be your next
priority and with fear out of the way dopamine will be released to make you go for it with
confidence.
The only way to form habits and ultimately success
The only way to form habits is to stick to the process until you start seeing results, with
more results more dopamine will be released each and every time. Thus after a while you
will find the activity fun. The gym becomes fun, work becomes fun, 34 becomes fun.
6nly if you have persevered long enough to gain results to start boosting your dopamine
in response to those activities.
o you want it bad enough7
This is what it comes down to, do you want it bad enough to persevere and form your
dopamine path"ways. $ou will have '((6T of conflicting dopamine telling you to stay
at home, eat fat food. $ou get dopamine released to keep you in your comfort 8one
because its working. )o you must ignore that dopamine release and start to form new
ones connected with the activities that brings you what you desire. )o in a way dopamine
is both the key to success and also the greatest barrier.
