Can you explain the tool "Dopamine Spotlighting" for habit formation in more detail? I understand the idea of thinking about how good you will feel after completing the habit, like running, but I don't fully grasp the thinking process before starting the habit. What am I supposed to anticipate before I begin running?
Can you give an example of positively associating reward mechanisms to the entire sequence of events around a habit as discussed in the episode The Science of Making & Breaking Habits | Huberman Lab Podcast #53 and the clip Reward Prediction and Habits?
Give me a super concise and easy-to-understand way to start the habit formation system described by Andrew Huberman. It seems like first you start with finding a habit to stack your new habit with, then visualize the new habit, identify a place of low limbic friction to stack it on, and then execute the next day. Please give me Huberman quotes on this process.
