Dopamine Reward Circuit Fills Up on Protein Instead of Social Media Likes

Dopamine Reward Circuit Fills Up on Protein Instead of Social Media Likes

I've been realizing something strange lately. The world uses the phrase “dopamine reward circuit” a lot, and it's often associated with social media, games, and short bursts of stimulation, but I haven't been addicted to social media lately because I quickly recognize that it's a fake reward. Notifications on my phone, likes, comparisons with others...they may be stimulating in the moment, but they become empty over time. So I talked to myself and wondered what the real reward is, because I've been feeling so psychologically lethargic lately. Social media likes = fake rewards When I talked to Ittip, I was like, "Oh, my...

The Power of MBTI F as Seen by AI, and Why Depth Will Eventually Change the World

The Power of MBTI F as Seen by AI, and Why Depth Will Eventually Change the World

1. The commonly misunderstood F of the MBTI There's a stereotype that always comes up when talking about the MBTI: “F is emotional, T is rational.” This short sentence leads many people to think of F as simply being tearful and moody. But when I spoke with AI, I realized how shallow that interpretation is. AI explained the difference between T and F with a very simple but powerful analogy. It was ice. T is a solid piece of ice on the surface of the water, and F is a huge mass of ice underneath.

AI reveals the truth behind the MBTI T's and the depth of the hidden F's

I often ask myself these days, “Am I really a genius or just an ordinary person?” This question has been bouncing around in my mind, especially when I'm running a blog. I've already written more than 130 posts, the number of visitors is gradually increasing, and the revenue is still insignificant. The AI's words sounded logical and cold A few days ago, I had a conversation with the AI. “Am I a genius?” I asked it with expectations, but the nuance of the words that came back was too cold: “You're...

What ASMR is and how I experienced it firsthand

🌙 5am, no sleep Last night, I finally managed to fall asleep around 5am. My body was tired, but sleep was strangely elusive. Even when I closed my eyes, I still felt awake, my mind racing and my heart pounding. I ended up lying down and meditating for three hours. But strangely enough, the moment I listened to ASMR, things changed. My body became calm, I felt my brain expand, as if it were expanding, and I suddenly felt energized, which is why I'm writing this post. In this article, I'll explain what ASMR is, why many...

Shoulder widening exercises, engaging the upper trapezius and shoulders made a difference.

Shoulder widening exercises, engaging the upper trapezius and shoulders made a difference.

👋 Intro: What Wider Shoulders Can Do for You It's not easy to reduce the size of a person's face, but the shoulders are different. Wider shoulders make your face look smaller, change your upper body proportions, improve the fit of your clothes, and change your overall impression to “small, slender face + strong body”. I used to have broad shoulders when I was underweight, so I felt like I had a “big frame.” But recently, as I've gained muscle, my shoulder line has become a bit deficient. Especially when I look in the mirror up close, my face looks bigger and my shoulders look narrower...
