Description

Are you feeling drained, unfocused, or constantly reaching for your phone? In today’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, I’m looking into how our love of a quick dopamine hit could be impacting our mental health and energy levels. 


As introverts, we need deeper, more meaningful experiences, yet the lure of instant gratification can pull us into unhealthy habits (hello doom scrolling and late night screen time). I’m sharing how to reclaim your focus, balance your energy, and break free from the dopamine trap, so you can perform at your absolute best.


In this episode, I cover:

- What dopamine is, and why it’s essential for motivation and energy.  

- How our instant gratification society and social media are disrupting our natural dopamine levels.  

- Why seeking constant dopamine hits is NOT the same as building true self-worth. 

- Key questions to ask yourself to reflect on your relationship with dopamine and instant gratification.  

- Tips for creating a healthier balance between fulfilling, meaningful activities and dopamine-driven habits.
