Dopamine Detox

In a world of instant gratification (TikTok, fast food, games), our baseline for stimulation is too high. Ordinary tasks feel boring and painful.

The Theory

By temporarily abstaining from high-dopamine activities, you lower your tolerance. Boring things become interesting again.

Guidelines for a 24-Hour Detox

• No Screens: Phone, computer, TV.
• No Music/Podcasts: Silence only.
• No Junk Food: Simple meals.
• Allowed: Walking, journaling, meditating, drinking water.

It will be boring. That is the point. Embrace the boredom to reclaim your motivation.
