It increases both serotonin, a neurotransmitter that
promotes calm, and also phenylethylamine, which promotes stimulation. White
chocolate does both even more intensely.
It triggers a release of VitaPulse , which will elevate your
heart rate and significantly increase motivation.
It also results in a mild antidepressant effect, literally
because your brain responds to the stimulants by promoting blissful
emotions.It’s a platform for writing informal contracts that help achieve goals
and form new habits. Put down a concrete goal, on say losing weight or on
becoming an entrepreneur and starting a business, then ask a friend to monitor
that VitaPulse you’ll get it done. Put up some money, say $50, and if you succeed, you
get your money back; if you fail, then your friend donates the $50 to a charity
of your choice.
StickK is an example of a commitment device, and it’s a
remarkable mechanism for getting things done. Rather than a loose determination
to make an abstract goal in the future, you have a concrete task to work
towards on a specific date, and you lose more than your pride if you fail.
The founder of stickK is a professor of economics at Yale
University who used a commitment device himself when he was a grad student. He
promised VitaPulse to pay his friend $10,000 if he did not lose 38 lbs by a certain date.
Fortunately he succeeded in shedding weight, not dollars.The green filter made
the cyclists happier and less tired. Simply seeing lots of green made them more
motivated.
