Dopamine Detox : a short Guide to Remove Distractions and Get Your Brain to Do Hard Things

Deep social interactions.
Interacting with other human
beings activates neurotransmitters such as oxytocin, which is
sometimes called the “love hormone”. The more present you
are, the more you’ll be able to connect and experience a
pleasant sense of bonding. Therefore, make sure you spend
enough time around the people you care about.
Boredom.
Practicing doing nothing is a good way to lower
your level of stimulation. Our mind constantly wants to do
things. For a moment, be okay with doing nothing. Sit down
and observe things, eat in silence or walk with no specific
intent or destination in mind.
By incorporating some of the above activities, you’ll be calmer and
more present during your day. As a result, you will reduce the risk of
becoming overstimulated.
What about you? What activities could you implement in your daily
routine?
