The Dynamic Science of Motivation!
Think of our minds not as fixed structures, but as constantly shifting landscapes, where our sense of self and how we see the world are always changing. In my deep dive into Sports Science, especially exploring ‘Psychology and Motivation’ and ‘Advanced Sports Coaching’, I’ve been peeling back the layers of how our brains work when it comes to staying driven.
Picture this: inside our brains, there’s this intricate system that’s like a control panel, controlling our motivation levels.
It’s all about chemicals like dopamine and epinephrine, which are a bit like the fuel and brakes for our motivation engine. Understanding how these chemicals work is like uncovering the secret recipe for keeping ourselves going. Now, motivation and addiction—they’re like distant cousins. They’re both influenced by our life experiences and how we see the world around us. It’s a bit like how two roads might look different, but they both lead to similar places.
But don’t worry if this all sounds a bit complex. After years of digging into this stuff, I’ve got some practical tips and tricks up my sleeve. I’ll be your guide to helping you make your Peak self a reality.
