Thanks for this video. It was good and excellent preview. Training mindfulness and self-awarness has helped a lot with my ADHD and anxiousness. And I feel more energetic and not driven by dopaminergic actions all the time since when I minimized the multitasking. For example when I eat, I eat. No CZcamsvideos rolling on the background. Makes huge difference in everyday life. Only sometimes with selfawareness of doing that, I give myself the permission to multitask everything.
Booya! love the when i enat i eat.
Thanks for posting.
I heard healthy gamer say “you got to conquer desire, not the desire to do what you should be doing, but desire to do the thing your doing instead of the thing you would like to be doing”. Because you are always motivated, just often in the wrong direction (pleasure /pain avoidance(these both give dopamine). ) and wrong intensity (dopamine level I assume) Mindfulness and awarness of that desire can help soften the nucleus accumbens which is area dopamine rewards are released from. So softly focus on that desire and track it and let it gradually disappear.
Very well said!
I love HealthyGamerGG’s videos. From him I learned to often think about my doings that ”what is more important than this what I would want to do now”. I more often push myself to do the things that are important and meaningful, than just things that I want to do or desire. For example I am about to play videogames for whole day, but visiting grandma is more important. When I visit her and have great time, the spiritual feeling is so good reward afterwards and the quilty feelings have gone much less in my life.
Also for me I started to understand desires are things you don't fully have control over, so doing small things towards it and having the intention (mindset) that this is what I needed while the desire is what I wanted..like my room needed to be clean, but my desire is to have it so clean, but in reality I don't have the energy no the focus to do that, so I put the intention that I want it clean enough that I would be comfortable in it, and that is what I truly needed to make my day better.
@@nanochan1168 I like what you wrote. To me the primitive brain has the urge to escape discomfort/seek comfort. It is a survival mechanism (i.e. the urge to eat). At night you change positions in bed because you have become uncomfotable in the current postion and have the urge to move to a more comfortable position. Clearning and organizing is boring and time consuming. Such things are uncomfortable and thus require a not of cognitive energy to sit in discomfort this the urge to escape and do something else. This primitive urge is more intense for those with ADHD... it is a constant battle to self-regulate... to pause and overrid the urge (aka desire). Thanks for posting.
I think the thing about awarness here that’s important is that there are like different levels of “wanting” like one is like a “I would like to do that” cognitive, Then if you reflect on it it eventually you figure out why you want it d how it’s important going forward and eventually with that awarness within the brain the reward circuit sees it as motivationally salient. And that is a distinct feeling of wanting once it’s seen how the doing the thing rewards us pleasurably or through pain avoidance.
Loved your other post... this one two... good distinction.
Thanks
That repetitiveness would destroy me, but with the development of physical conditions, the second facial swelling lead to body dysmorphia has me doing nothing everyday, that I've grown to love hate, 😢 and I didn't get to develop a sense of self, which is a story I'm sure you've heard before from 100s and 100s of other people Thank You 🙂💖.
thanks for posting!!!!
The funny thing, there are level of awareness depending on how bad you are lost, like awareness of your physical state is different than awareness of what to do about it then awareness that it is not something you have to train yourself to do but to have the awareness to choose it as the easier way, removing the resistance you grow up on, understanding awareness and acting on it is like like having options (or just knowing something) vs understanding you have contor over your life... then you have to trust yourself and consistently act or train 😂 yourself to listen to yourself then you feel more flexible and in control less anxiety and more guided actions to make your life better... I hope that make sense cause I myself still working on it 😂
I agree there are different levels of awarness. That said, to me self-awareness is seeing yourself objectivley not as you want to see yourself. Put differently it is to remove emotions.
Here is any example (I know most will disagree with me). Many people say they like to help people. I don't disagree. However, most belive they are doing so for the other person. That said, eveything people do is a self serving act. Yes, i like to help people cause if you have an Aha and think favorably of me I'm motivated to do more. In other words i like to share insights. If someone has an Aha it is about me not them. Hopefully the benefit from it.
So the difference is the self-awareness people help people for their own self interest is an example of a more objective observation.
Many will get wrapped up in this and argue with me. That isn't the point. The example was used as a metaphore to understand different levels of self awareness.
