Today on the show we're talking about playing the long game. As a culmination of what we've talked about so far this week, the long game is about using the non-zero concept and chipping away at life and goals every single day. That includes improving our lives, relationships and self-esteem. It's all about goal management so that we're not setting our sights so high that we feel terrible about them all the time. Grab a pillow and some ice cream to enjoy the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today we're talking about The 3 Yous, a concept that I came across on a Reddit thread that was meant to help someone get out of a motivational rut. What I love about this concept is that it externalizes your behavior towards yourself. By thinking about your future self as someone you're helping out and someone who is your best friend, you'll be more likely to do things now in service of that person's success. Even so, if you don't fulfill what you would like to, your present self should be ready and willing to forgive your past self so that you can move forward. We talk about that on this time warp edition of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about the concept of No More Zero Days. What are zero days? They are days in which you do absolutely nothing towards your goal. We define further what that means by letting you know that anything counts. Writing a sentence, taking a few notes, thinking about the next goal, or talking about it with a friend. Anything that isn't completely ignoring your goal. Get off the couch and talk with me about No More Zero Days on DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about The Drama Triangle, a social model created to help understand the destructive elements of a social conflict. This model helps us identify how we enter conflict, how we may respond within this drama triangle and how we could get out of it or even avoid it in the first place. Lift the curtain and take center stage as we discuss The Drama Triangle on DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about the confusion and perceptions that come from being immersed in personal development. Many of us are dealing with people in our lives judging us for so many little things, mostly due to their own insecurity, and we shouldn't let it affects but sometimes it does. That's reality. You'll reach a point in your growth that may take you away from what people are used to. They may start saying that you're too good for them or that they don't understand you anymore. Truth is, many of us are growing and developing because we have to. That's the difference we're going to talk about today.

Today on the show we're talking about putting people on a pedestal and how that can have negative affects on your self-esteem. It's amazing to have people to admire but when create arbitrary measurements of value we then put ourselves into that equation as well, which runs the risk of measuring ourselves as less than important. We become nervous around those we admire, we can potentially feel unworthy of the same success or feel that we don't deserve what we want. We break down all of these things and more on today's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about depression as a habit. Is the feeling of depression, stress or sadness something that you're simply used to? Can you get out of that habit? How can you start to look at your personality as something separate from depression? We use some fast food analogies and I share a bit of my story with personality development, which has me better understand myself as an INTP vs. a cyclothymic person. This one feels like an important one so tag along and join me for the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about that common phrase known as "Thoughts and Prayers." How does that relate to mental health? Well, simply, it's a coping mechanism. There are difficult things that go on in the world and we need ways to move forward. But I also understand the cynicism behind it. It can feel like a blanket statement that absolves someone of personal responsibility. From all angles, we can do better and that's why we're here.

Today on the show we're talking about male to male abuse, specifically sexual abuse. Much of the male experience is dominated by other men trying to show their dominance or "alpha" attitudes towards one another. Some of the time that translates into sexual abuse as a show of physical power or perceived playfulness. The usual "It was a joke" or "no homo" is applied to soften the blow. Society doesn't help much as prison rape is often the butt of many jokes. So we talk about that quite a bit and break down the male side of the #MeToo story from the perspective of Terry Crews and Brendan Fraser.
