How to Stop Chasing Dopamine & Master Your Motivation

The Catholic Pursuit of Excellence

#019- Today, we’re diving into dopamine—the chemical that drives motivation and the pursuit of goals.

A lot of people think dopamine is just about pleasure, but it’s really the force behind why we act, why we chase after things, and how we stay motivated.

Whether you’re trying to build better habits, overcome burnout, or understand why some things seem more exciting than others, dopamine is at the core.”

By understanding how dopamine works, we can learn how to use it to our advantage—helping us stay motivated, avoid addictive behaviors, and thrive long-term.

In this episode, we’ll break down how dopamine works, why it’s so important for motivation, how it can help or hurt us in habit formation, and how to boost it naturally.
