"The process of raising dopamine in the brain by telling people your goals, plans, and how you want to change but never actually doing anything about it." Explanation: Mental stimulation without action: It refers to getting pleasure or satisfaction just from thinking or talking about doing something (like making big life changes or achieving goals), without taking real steps to make it happen. Dopamine boost: When you talk about your plans or goals, your brain gets a small dopamine hit, which makes you feel good — as if you’ve already accomplished something. No real progress: Since no actual work is done, it becomes a cycle of empty satisfaction without results. Why it's a problem: It can trick you into feeling productive when you're not. Over time, it can lead to frustration, lack of achievement, and stagnation. Would you say you’ve ever caught yourself in this loop?
