The overpursuit of pleasure

Life is filled with ironic, paradoxical situations.

And one that's worth highlighting is the pursuit of pleasure.

This loop that a huge portion of humanity is stuck in, where they're simply seeking the next best source of stimulation and entertainment throughout each day. Which, ironically, reduces their capacity to enjoy the very pleasures they've been so dedicated to seeking. This is because of a natural phenomenon called "downregulation" that the brain goes through when it's encountering high levels of stimulation, which has the net effect of reducing the "hit" of dopamine we get from literally anything we turn our attention towards, with us needing more and more stimulation to experience the same pleasure as before.

Which is nice theory.

But let's bring it into a more grounded reality.

For example:

Once upon a time, I'd lost the feeling of joy I used to have while socializing, spending time with my family, watching a sunset, being out in nature, or simply reading books which I'd always been fond of. Instead, these things had begun to feel boring and understimulating to me, and while trying to enjoy them, I'd feel this itch to return to things I found more stimulating instead - like porn, youtube, and video games.

But that was a miserable hamster wheel.

Because the more I did those things, the more I needed to do those things to feel "ok."

And that was where my escapism pattern was born, and over time, grew into a massive problem that was draining me and holding me back from being the kind of man I wanted to be.

A pattern that begun to completely unravel and reverse when I made the dedicated decision to quit porn no matter what it took...

Another example:

One of my previous clients was an artist. Or at least, he used to be. He always loved making music, painting, and drawing... but he'd totally lost his passion. It was mystifying to him, because objectively he kept feeling like he wanted to do those things, would like to get back to them, but years had gone by since he'd really engaged them fully. Instead, he was defaulting to things like scrolling, netflix, and just putzing around on his smartphone.

That was more or less where he was at when we'd met.

What happened over the next few months was incredible because once he quit porn and masturbation, his brain started healing. That "downregulation" dynamic I mentioned started reversing, which happens naturally when you remove the big sources of overstimulation. And as that happen... well, wouldn't you know it? His passion returned!

He picked up his guitar for the first time in years.

Then kept picking it up.

He got back into creating art.

And fast forward a couple years, and not only has he been creating art... but he's actually started an online business around it too. Wish I could share more about that, but respecting his privacy, I have to leave it there. But that business enabled him to quit his old job that felt simply miserable despite the good salary he was earning, and enjoy a freedom he's never known before while doing things he genuinely enjoys.

It's actually incredible what you're capable of when your brain is firing on all cylinders the way God intended it to.

And that process begins by stopping the overpursuit of overstimulating pleasures.

But don't just take my word for it.

It's time to experience it for yourself.

Stop letting this thorn in your side hold you back.
