Our brain is attracted to the promise of a reward and it’s vital to distinguish between that dopamine fuelled wanting and genuine happiness. In my experience when something really makes me happy, then that feeling will be present before, during and after the experience… rather than beginning with anxious indecision and justification – followed by an all too brief ‘happiness’ – to be immediately replaced by guilt or disappointment. => When you determine it’s a dopamine fueled ‘want’ that will only lead to guilt, disappoint or at best apathy rather than genuine happiness… know that the urge will eventually pass on its own – like a wave – even if you don’t act on it.
