Dopamine vs. Serotonin: The Secret Dance That Runs Your Brain (And Life)
Let me tell you a story about Jake. Jake wakes up exhausted, grabs his phone immediately, and doom scrolls for 30 minutes. He knows he should work out, but "just can't find the motivation." By afternoon, he's binged on snacks while putting off important work. At night, he's wired but exhausted, mind racing about everything he didn't accomplish.
