Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that influences motivation and drive. It is released in anticipation of rewards like food, sex, or success. Low dopamine levels can result in feelings of laziness, while high levels lead to motivation and excitement. However, the dark side of dopamine involves its susceptibility to being hijacked by artificial substances and distractions designed to trigger unnaturally high spikes in dopamine. These spikes can come from various sources such as junk food, drugs, social media, or video games. While dopamine is essential for driving us towards goals and self-improvement, it's crucial to be aware of how external factors can manipulate this neurotransmitter for instant gratification.
