I don't think I've ever seen anything explain your brain chemistry this clearly. The reason why this chart is so good is because it shows you that the speed in which you get your dopamine makes all the difference between whether you're addicted or successful. The National Institute on Drug Abuse did an experiment where they gave people the same chemical two different ways. They gave them Ritalin through an IV and Ritalin in pill form. It was the same drug, the same dopamine, but the pill raises that dopamine slowly. When it comes on slowly, you don't get the same high that leaves you craving it. And by the way, if you're doing a lot of the things up here, do not feel guilty because that's just gonna cause you to want to do it more to escape. Simply be aware of it. The more aware of it you are, the more it will just work itself out on its own. Better, yeah, I love this infographic. I had to share it. You should definitely save it for a time where you're feeling like you're losing your spark.
