Dopamine Detox
Curious what people's experiences have been with dopamine detoxing or dopamine fasting. Of course you can't totally fast from a naturally occurring chemical in the brain. What can one do to control what they can? Any specific routines? All thoughts welcome.
I tried doing one where I meditated for most of the day for 3 days straight. Ended up basically sleeping through most of it but afterwards the urge to check my phone/ any other previous instinctive habit was greatly reduced.
Simply getting off social media would have incredible effects for most people. I personally don't go on it at all as much as possible. Maybe 5 mins a day maximum and it's the best thing I have done to improve my focus and productivity.
the best way to do this is to remove what's causing a dopamine overload. this could be heroin, social media, pornography, etc., so impossible to give a one size fits all answer, depends on you
