But somehow, you kept going.

“I’m doing it for the dopamine” is literally what I tell myself when I’m faced with doing something I don’t want to do! 😆

Things that are boring.

Tedious.

Annoying.

And that I’d happily avoid.

But getting them done feels good. So… instead of grumbling, I remind myself that my brain will enjoy the dopamine 😇

Thanks Tj Power | Neuroscientist for capturing this so well

I know not every season is one you want to stay in.

Some are beautiful. Some are hard. Some are somewhere in between.

Being present doesn’t mean you have to love where you are. It just means you don’t have to spend all of today trying to figure out tomorrow.

Oh dear, reads more like a psychological thriller - from fondue fiascos to rind therapy 😅

If cheddar could dare you this is a book (not) to read 😆 🧀

Lost in provolone is how I’d describe this publication - thanks to a comedic academic collaboration

Perception isn’t a perfect recording of reality.

Our brains are constantly selecting, filtering & interpreting the information around us. This is influenced by what we pay attention to, what we expect, what we already know and the context in which something occurs.

It’s why two people can look at the same image, watch the same event, or hear the same information and come away with very different perceptions of what happened.

We don’t simply take in the world. Our brains interpret it.

Remember the blue and black dress? 👗

Overwhelm can make a situation feel threatening and locks our attention onto the enormity of what we’re facing.

Asking “What’s the first step?” can interrupt that. It narrows our attention from the whole problem to something concrete, manageable and actionable.

While I’d say the neuroscience is a little more nuanced than simply shifting activity from the amygdala — our “fear centre” — to the prefrontal cortex — our “problem-solving centre”, the practical principle is a good one: when everything feels too much, make the problem smaller.

What’s the first step?
