My ability to complete a task relies heavily on whether my dopamine is fired up.
I’m not lazy or stupid, but I am specific and selective as to how my energy is spent and this selection is, as far as I am aware, not conscious.
The presentation of a task will either instil me with an intense drive to complete it immediately or it will shut me down and drain me.
This shut down then triggers a fight or flight response because I am aware of the pressure of the expectations, placed on me by society,
again spiking my anxiety levels further leaving my EF inhibited, inaccessible because EF is an expense our bodies are not opening the purse
strings for because that expense of energy is required in case we need to fight or run away from the perceived threat.
