Motivational speaker shows how dopamine doesn’t make you happy but addicted
USA, Oct’23: The prominent Motivational speaker: Jody Urquhart takes center stage in motivation and personal growth, bringing light on a stunning revelation: dopamine, frequently heralded as the 'feel-good' neurotransmitter, may not be the key to genuine happiness but rather a path to addiction.
This motivational specialist digs into the complexities of the human mind and its drive for fulfilment with a fascinating and thought-provoking approach. They research how our quest for pleasure can sometimes lead us down a different path, using understandable concepts and relatable anecdotes.
Motivational Speaker Jody Urquhart challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding dopamine and its role in happiness. Jody sheds light on the complex interaction between dopamine and our search for happiness from a unique perspective. Here are some key takeaways from her thought-provoking talk:
The Dopamine Rush: Jody emphasizes that while dopamine is often associated with feelings of pleasure, it's primarily a reward and motivation neurotransmitter. It gives us that exhilarating 'feel-good' sensation but does not guarantee long-lasting happiness.
Instant Gratification vs. Sustainable Joy: Urquhart explains how our modern world bombards us with quick dopamine hits from various sources, such as social media, junk food, or impulsive buying. These instant satisfactions can create an addiction-like cycle but rarely lead to genuine, lasting happiness.
The Quest for Novelty: Jody Urquhart explores the role of novelty-seeking behavior driven by dopamine. She highlights how our constant pursuit of new experiences and rewards can divert us from the path to true happiness as we become trapped in an unending cycle of seeking the next 'high.'
The Pursuit of Purpose: Urquhart makes a compelling case for the importance of purpose and meaning in our lives. True happiness often comes from aligning our actions with our values and finding purpose rather than relying on fleeting dopamine-driven pleasures.
Resilience and Happiness: Jody discusses the role of resilience in happiness. She suggests that building emotional resilience can help us navigate life's challenges without falling into the trap of seeking constant dopamine hits for escape.
Mindful Consumption: Jody Urquhart advocates a more mindful approach to our consumption of dopamine-inducing experiences. We can make long-term decisions by being conscious of our choices and how they affect us.
Balancing Dopamine and Serotonin: Jody emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to neurotransmitters. While dopamine is involved in motivation, the serotonin system is strongly associated with feelings of well-being and happiness. Achieving this balance is crucial for our overall mental health and satisfaction.
Motivational Speaker Jody Urquhart's insights, challenge us to reevaluate our relationship with dopamine, encouraging us to seek more meaningful and sustainable sources of happiness. Come on this journey with us as we uncover the true essence of motivation and its scientific foundations, presented in a fresh and easily understandable manner.

The Brain Eaters has received a new 2K scan of a fine grain film element. No special features are included.
When a strange structure emerges from the earth in a small Illinois town, scientist Dr. Paul Kettering is sent to investigate its mysterious origins and purpose. Kettering soon discovers the shocking truth: the object houses subterranean parasites capable of controlling the minds of anyone by attaching themselves at their necks. With the citizenry slowly infiltrated and overtaken and the town cut off from the outside world, Kettering and a small band of those left unenslaved must take on the insurmountable task of halting this menacing invasion from spreading.

Marchand left off fan ballot for Mooseheads' top 25 of all-time
The Halifax Mooseheads are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and, as a way to commemorate the occasion, the team is turning to the fans to name their favourite players in franchise history.
But, there’s one famous former Moosehead that is not even on the ballot.
If you ask fans who have been the top players in the history of the QMJHL franchise, there's no shortage of names.
“I'm gonna say Nathan MacKinnon for number one,” said Jake Boudreau. “I don't know if it gets any better than him. He's the best of all time.”
“Giguere, the goalie, was good,” said Mark Lavers. “Oh, Jonathan Drouin should be on that list.”
Doug Taylor offered second votes for Jean-Sebastien Giguere and MacKinnon.
“As far as a fan favourite, Jody Shelley.”
The team is asking fans to select their favourite Mooseheads in franchise history from dozens of names to create a top all-time 25.
“It's a fun way to celebrate the 25th anniversary and engage the fans that made it possible,” said Brian Urquhart, the Halifax Mooseheads president. “So, we really hope the fans have a lot of fun with it making their choices.”
There is one notable name missing from the ballot: Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins who once played part of one season for the Mooseheads.
“You should still put him on there,” said Boudreau. “How much bigger do you get than Brad Marchand? He's up there for sure.”
The Mooseheads say they had to choose from hundreds of former and current players and Marchand only played for a short period of time.
"I mean Brad is obviously a great player, a great player at the next level, but we had to draw some lines in certain areas,” Urquhart said. “A guy like Nico Hischier spent his whole year here, played 57, 58 games was also a first-overall pick.”
While some fans may be surprised Marchand isn't an option, Alex Joseph, a former advisory board member for the Halifax Mooseheads, isn’t.
“He played 40 games and you can't measure the yardstick with a player that played 40 games,” Joseph said. “Some players progress later on. … Brad Marchand, when he was here, was just an average hockey player. He's now an impressive hockey player.”
Fans have until Nov. 30 to select their favourite players.

2018 Artist Project grants – first round
Edmonton Arts Council and City of Edmonton supports 30 local artistic projects
Artist Project grants for individual artists and collectives support the pursuit of artistic and professional advancement. Be it creation, research, development, curation, exhibition, production or professional development opportunities – artists are welcome to apply to have these projects funded. With so many artists pursuing various ideas and disciplines, it’s inspiring to see what Edmonton’s arts community is creating.
Image: Nancy Sandercock performs frost flowers/RHIZOME at Mile Zero Dance’s Spazio Performativo (click here to watch her performance filmed by John Bellucci) she will be expanding on this work for The Works Art & Design Festival in a four-hour durational performance installation.
Throughout 2018, you can expect to see numerous artist projects around Edmonton. With their Artist Project investments, Nancy Sandercock and Emmanuel Osahor are each creating art installations to be shown at The Works Art & Design Festival – discover their work as part of the festival from June 21 to July 3 at Site 1. Merging dance, music, and theatre, Thou Art Here will bring you the story of William Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, in the historic 1886 Edmonton Cemetery this fall, assisted by a Project grant.
Image: Stephanie Urquhart performs with Experience Points on Churchill Square, photo by Tatiana Zagorac of XYZ Productions.
Seeking an outlet for her compositions, professional composer and pianist Stephanie Urquhart created the group Experience Points. Together they combine funk, jazz, and groove-based music with classic video game soundtracks. With their Artist Project grant they plan to record and release their first album.
Image: Murrini glass prototypes by Keith Walker, photo supplied.
Artist Project grants also give artists the opportunity to explore and experiment in their practice. Looking to push her own artistic voice, accomplished dancer, choreographer and instructor Jodie Vandekerkhove will be exploring how to express herself through body and camera. Her dancing-camera will allow audiences to see what a dancer sees from “their” perspective, adding a new voice to the work. Using his Project grant, Keith Walker will be working with assistants to explore the Italian glasswork technique, Murrini.

Empowering Women: Insights from a Leading Women's Motivational Speaker
In today's society, women have made significant strides in the political arena, with more women holding decision-making positions than ever before.
