There is a relationship between happiness and achieving objectives. Would you say you are happy when you reach your objective, before or after working hard? The solution is apparent. Of course, you'll feel pleased after everything is finished and the conflict is done, but that's all there is.
Whether your goal is to succeed in business or finally reach your ideal weight, you will experience immense joy when you succeed. This is everything you've wanted for months if not years, and getting it suddenly isn't funny. The most crucial reason is to understand how motivation and our brains function.
Everything begins with dopamine, sometimes known as a pleasurable chemical. Dopamine is the chemical released when you are in love or consume chocolate. People are happier when they are motivated and looking for an award than when they are given a gift. When you see chocolate, dopamine makes you happy because you want to eat it. Chocolate depletes your happiness; you'll probably want more after you finish.
Where it is in your thoughts makes a difference. What kind of neurons are needed? What sorts of receptors are receiving dopamine? Depending on where it resides in the brain, dopamine may impact chemical levels, development, and organ function. Whatever the case, whenever you hear the term dopamine, you're probably thinking about how it affects the mesolimbic dopamine system, which is the portion of your brain that helps you get by.
Dopamine levels rise when individuals gamble, use drugs, engage in sexual activity, consume pleasant food, or listen to music. Things aren't going as expected here! Surprisingly, when someone with PTSD has flashbacks, the quantity of dopamine in their brain increases.
Finally, what does this do with a fulfilling sense of enjoyment, gratifying pride, or motivation to achieve a goal? Dopamine levels are high while you work toward a goal and think about your life when you achieve it. You feel much better when you accomplish your goal, but the excitement has gone.
The journey matters more than the goal. Some individuals claim they feel empty after they achieve their objective. To prevent this, you should appreciate and embrace your accomplishments. However, it is vital to understand that achieving a goal will not make you happy, and you may even be sad after you have completed it.
Setting a new goal, no matter how small is the most effective way to maintain motivation and happiness. The goal is to keep improving and appreciate your victories. Also, avoid establishing objectives that will make you feel exhausted if you continue to set them. Stop creating goals if you continue to feel excited, dissatisfied when you meet hurdles, and great when you eventually achieve your objective. Enjoy it all!
