Dopamine Detox.

AKA "pushing the reset button on your brain".

Here's why it DOESN'T WORK, and what you can do instead:

What is Dopamine?

Known as the “feel-good” hormone.

Dopamine is a hormone and neurotransmitter that's an important part of our brain's reward system.

Certain behaviors can reduce our brain’s ability to produce dopamine naturally.

Dopamine Detox:

Avoiding all dopamine producing activities, or “pleasures,” for a certain amount of time.

Including (but not limited to):
- Smartphone use
- Social media
- Addictive foods
- Po*******hy
- Novelty seeking

The goal is to "reset" your brain.

The problem with dopamine detoxing is that it’s unsustainable.
It’s a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

It may give you some valuable insights, but there are lots of better ways to fix your relationship with dopamine long-term.

Here are 5 you can try:

1. Examine your relationship with dopamine

Examine the underlying triggers that make you seek out hits of dopamine.

Do you flood your brain with dopamine (p**n, fast food, drugs) as a method of coping or avoidance?
Remember.
Awareness is the first step to change.

2. Replace pleasure driven activities with deep ones

Now, there’s nothing wrong with throwing on a few episodes of Rick and Morty once in a while.
But it’s worth asking yourself which of your activities provide deep fulfillment, and which ones are just quick hits of pleasure.

3. Schedule time to disconnect

Instead of trying to "detox" for a full day, aim to find some time EVERY DAY where you can disconnect.
Even just 30 minutes.
I suggest a simple phone-less walk.
I promise you'll be amazed by how good you feel.

4. Stop multitasking

One of the fastest ways to hammer our dopamine into submission is by constantly switching between tasks and tabs.
When you do something, DO IT.
Focus on it completely.
Put everything else aside.

5. Turn off notifications

This one is scary at first, but you will quickly start to feel liberated by it.

If you worry about missing something important, set a few blocks of time each day where you respond to emails, etc.

Let people know this is the best time to reach you.
