Awesome addictive substances or behaviors
Get up a cigarette in the morning and race through the living gods! This makes sense. These substances themselves have a great effect, allowing the brain to get a sense of satisfaction. Tobacco nicotine, the reward mechanism, especially in the early morning first cigarette. When you are under more stress with yourself, or when you are feeling down, or have a naturally less focused mind. It's easier to get that sense of satisfaction and strength from tobacco.
More dramatically, cocaine, the brain originally had an extreme pleasure for survival and reproduction, such as eating and sex. In order to continue the continuation of the self and the race. Cocaine, on the other hand, feels the same feeling, and the brain feels so happy that it forgets its true purpose and leaves the activities of survival and reproduction behind.
It's just, when are these substances, or behaviors, more accessible to us?
Just when the brain needs more security and satisfaction. When you are stressed, depressed, and when your life is empty. When youth is budding. Of course, even under normal brain sensations, the nature of "instant gratification" drives. These substances or behaviors themselves have great rewards, and the limbic system is stimulated to secrete dopamine. Even change the brain's learning mechanism.

Addiction may be another "healing" for the brain.
In some real life, or natural gas, when there is no satisfaction or fulcrum, they will seek the help of these substances or behaviors, such as indulging in games, indulging in tobacco and alcohol, or cocaine, bringing pleasure, even no less than human foraging for food for survival, or sexual life for reproduction. Perhaps from the perspective of the brain, it is a kind of "healing".
In the face of nihilism and panic, people try to find their own feeling of "flow", giving people a sense of security or comfort. For the addictive substance, or behavior, it may be given the feeling of finding comfort for the first time, "this is what I think about day and night."
The brain is satisfied, and for the body, "even if there are persistent negative effects, it will still force the use of a certain substance, or force a certain behavior"! After ending this pleasure, the human body is in a more nihilistic state of collapse, and anxiety and depression panic will attack again. The need for pleasure that reignites addiction. The endless cycle, even hunger and death, cannot be stopped, nor can it stop.

Since addiction is terrible, learn restraint and self-control early from childhood?
However, excessive "self-control" is not a kind of self-control and obedience in disguise. What about the damage to the future? See small children from 6-12 years old during elementary school. The most important thing is to develop the limbic system of the brain, that is, about children's emotions, exercise, blood pressure and blood sugar.
Some academic pressure is too much, or the old is blamed, the environment is not good. At this time, in order to adapt to the environment to survive. The limbic system of the child's brain stops developing. Immediately start the development of the cerebral cortex that originally needs to develop at a higher age, that is to say, rational maturity, at this time, the child's forced development of the cerebral cortex, suddenly feel sensible.
However, the opportunity to develop the limbic system is lost, and when you grow up, you will have problems such as emotional instability, low self-esteem, poor exercise, and even high blood pressure and diabetes.
Even if it seems to be full of motivation to study and work, but there is damage in the development of the limbic system, it can still make it impossible for a person to adjust to his deep fears, or there is such an imbalance. For example, after the start of a certain selection, it cannot be stopped.
Therefore, the development of the marginal system from childhood, as well as the development of the prefrontal lobe in the early adulthood of adolescents, are very important for addiction, or the formation of a sense of meaning in life.
Although the results of the sensible and elementary schools and junior high schools are very good, once they go to the university and society, they lose their vitality and creativity. It is the premature initiation of mature cerebral cortex development, and the loss of emotional stability, motor ability, and metabolic control of brain development. Or, it looks silly, and the grades may not be very good. But in college, society is very creative, very artistic ability and so on.
So how can children promote the secretion of dopamine in learning? Replace "big goals" with "small goals" to make the sense of accomplishment of completing small goals again and again, and promote the secretion of dopamine. For example, holiday homework, complete a small goal every day, complete a milestone in 3-5 days, and put a tick on the plan for each unit completed. Let every day of learning have a peak of dopamine secretion. In a caring, athletic, and restful environment, respect the law of growth and development, in order to better exert self-control.

From small to large, children to teenagers.
In the environment of growing up in elementary school, more care, and sports, not only grades but also do not maintain good looks and strengths. Protect your child's love of play, or sports, or emotional activity. This allows the "limbic system" to have a fully developed space-time.
Growing adolescence, the development of the cerebral cortex, leads to more self-control, rational behavior, and constant efforts to gain self-affirmation behavior, and even a sense of meaning in life. Thus reducing or avoiding attachment to some addictive substances, or behaviors. Except, of course, for love.
At this time, the meaning of life and learning, as well as the effort and habit formation of rational behavior, have a lot of influence on its adult habits. It is also a major period to avoid learned addictions such as alcoholism, smoking, or cocaine, games, bubble drama, etc.

For adults.
Upgrade requirements. On the basis of meeting physiological needs, we will further improve our own social value height. Pursuit of their own health, body shape, literacy and so on.
The difficulties of human nature. Take the initiative to realize to avoid, otherwise you will still regain your habits.
Exercise your own self-control, self-control like the muscles of the spirit. Man does not have the time to chase desire. When desire is acquired, it is empty and boring. Wandering between desire and boredom.
Give yourself a way to relax and relieve stress and depression and boredom. For example, exercising, meditating, or being too busy to leave yourself a little free time, or giving a job to boredom is even a little bit of something to do.
In the face of emptiness, self-talk. Cherish the time when you are only facing "naked". However, if it is harmless and elegant, you may wish to experience the appropriate feeling.
It would be a great joy to find something interesting and meaningful so that you could make a living and develop. Of course, even if making a living does not match the interest, then it is good to have an interest.
Because man's own existence may be meaningless, from nothing to nothing. But in this process, we need to give it our own meaning in order to combat the delusional desire and the boring emptiness.
