Dopamine is involved in wanting – not having – the excitement or anticipation about something increases dopamine firing 30-40x
Dopamine motivates you to take action toward the thing you want
Novelty is the number one trigger of dopamine release
Dopamine make us focus on things outside of us that we have to chase; serotonin makes us content with the here and now
To maintain high levels of motivation, try intermittent reward: celebrate successes every other time, every tenth time, etc. to blunt dopamine response, prevent a crash, and keep you on the path to bigger goals
