Catching the Dopamine Spike: A Moment of Metacognitive Awareness

---

[activity thought]: reviewing CELPIP and checked YouTube U.S Politics

[body]: dopamine spike

[feeling]: excited, a rush of feeling good, positive

[victorious thought]: aha! I gotcha!

[action thought]: instantly opens WooshBrain to document

[reflective thought]: well nothing, I just caught that “feelings” of dopamine rush, and now it subsides. hmmm …. interesting. Of course, I have noticed and felt it before a hundred times…

[exaggerating thought]: a million times

[playful thought]: grinning mentally

[feeling]: sheepish

[encouraging thought]: well, just saying that too that you need to get back iin reviewing. now you know, now you caught the dopamine, you’ve felt it’s benefits, eh? so, let’s start again reviewing CELPIP. You’re almost there in fishing the Listening review materials! Go go!

[body]: smiling

[strategic thought]: yep, let’s go! but what if i’m tempted again? now you have the options to decide if it’s time you NEED that dopamine rush… a sugar rush to the brain

[visual thought]: ATeens group brand with their song “Sugar Rush”

[associative thought]: Maan’s fave song

[body]: big smile

[feeling]: good

[creative thought]: might as well listen to it while reviewing

[realistic thought]: well it’s a LISTENING part of CELPIP. I can’t

[resolute thought]: alright then! let’s restart. redo.
