Are you sick of how much time you spend on the Internet but you can’t help yourself?
Is it not fun anymore?
Do you know what you should do, but you give in and do something immediately rewarding instead?
Do you find regular activities that other people find fun not fun at all?
These are the signs that you need a dopamine detox. A dopamine detox is abstaining from all addictive activities that raise your levels of dopamine too high.
The idea behind the detox is to stop being dependent on activities like social media, video games, gambling, and other addictive behaviors. You’ll abstain from instant hits of dopamine and replace them with healthier activities that produce dopamine like -
Talking to people
Cooking & eating
Going for walks
Reading books
Journalling
