Fear of reward dependence

I thought "reward for doing your best" was the best spell to move yourself.

I understand.

End of work, end of housework, end of putting to bed.

Every day I decide "If I overcome this, convenience store sweets" and move my body somehow.

But you know, if you keep doing this, your brain is going to be a little crazy.

Dopamine gets used to pleasure.

We are no longer satisfied with the same reward, more and more.

Before you realize it, you will become a person who lives for rewards.

Actually, in psychology, this is called the "overjustification effect."

Even if you originally liked doing it, if you keep getting rewards, it will change to "I won't do it without rewards."

So what I'm going to do is try to mess up my brain a little bit.

Just try one today without a reward.

Just one.

Then, strangely, even without a reward, the feeling of "Oh, I might have liked this" may come back slightly.

What is your "something that remains without a reward"?

... Read more私も以前は「頑張った自分へのご褒美」を何よりの励みとしていました。仕事や家事を終えた後、決まってコンビニスイーツを買うのが楽しみで、それがなければやる気が出ない日も多かったです。しかし、ある時点からそれだけでは満足できず、もっと高価で甘いものを求めるようになってしまいました。これは、記事でも触れられている「ドーパミンの慣れ」と「過正当化効果」が現実のものとして腑に落ちた瞬間でした。 心理学的には、ご褒美があることで本来好きだったことややる価値のあることが、「ご褒美がなければやらない」と変わってしまうことがあります。私の場合も、仕事自体の楽しさよりも「終わった後の甘いもの」が行動の原動力になっていたのです。そこでチャレンジしたのが、「今日はご褒美なしでひとつだけやってみる」という方法。初めは不安でしたが、意外にもご褒美がなくても仕事の中に小さな喜びや達成感を再発見でき、「好きだった」という感覚が少しずつ戻ってきました。 また、感情コントロールやEQ(感情知能)を意識することも効果的です。自分の感情に敏感になり、報酬への依存を客観視できると、自分の本当の動機や価値観に気づきやすくなります。私の場合、感情日記をつけることで、いつどんな時にご褒美を求めているか明確になり、ご褒美に頼らなくても満たされる時間の増加につながりました。 さらに、報酬を外部からだけでなく内面から得る意識を持つことも大切です。例えば、新しいスキルを習得したり、誰かに感謝されたりすることも貴重な「内なるご褒美」になり得ます。こうした内面の喜びが積み重なることで、外的な報酬に依存しすぎずに自分の人生を豊かにしていけると感じています。 この記事を読んでいる方も、ぜひ「ご褒美がなくても続けられる好きなこと」を探し、自分の感情と向き合う時間を作ってみてください。それが本当の意味で自分を動かすエネルギーとなり、ご褒美への依存から解放される大切な一歩になるはずです。

Be fun and reward !
To teach recall you need to be fun, reward and be consistent! I recommend starting on a long line so your dog is safe, can’t blow of recall during training, and you won’t go insane when they take off. Also if your dog is easily distracted definitely start in low distraction areas and work your way
