Lesson Overview

21.2 Understanding Reward and Risk Cycles: Understanding reward and risk cycles means acknowledging how your brain learns to crave short-term pleasure even if the behavior leads to long-term hurt. You explore how dopamine creates excitement and relief that reinforce habits each time you act on an impulse. You also look at the consequences—shame, money loss, relationship strain, or declining wellbeing—to see the full picture. By connecting these dots, you begin seeing that impulsive choices are not random—they follow predictable cycles that you can interrupt. You build motivation by recognizing that long-term rewards like trust, stability, and self-respect feel better and last longer than temporary highs. This understanding puts power back in your hands, helping you guide your decisions with wisdom instead of craving.
