dopamine detox challenge⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🍰
Tumblr media
the definition of a dopamine detox is fasting from activities or pleasures that produce dopamine so that the drive for quick rewards decreases.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
dopamine is naturally made by the brain. however, things like alcohol, caffeine, sugar, social media, video games, and substance use can sharply increase dopamine levels and lead to a type of addiction. and thats not hot ✨
BENEFITS OF THE DOPAMINE DETOX CHALLENGE ;
clarity
productivity
self awareness
self reflection
time management skills
self control
WHY DO A DOPAMINE DETOX ANYWAYS? ;
its true that dopamine produces pleasant sensations. when the body gets too much dopamine from different activities, it can start to require more and more dopamine to create those “good feelings”.
this can cause ur default mood levels to drop and in the long run leave you feeling worse and more unhappy over time.
SO WHATS THE CHALLENGE ;
step one - put a time limit on your phone or computer or whatever device that u find ur spending the most time on. put time limits on apps like tiktok, tumblr, instagram etc.

theres no need to put time limits on apps like your camera roll, text messages, apps that u use for school etc.
step two - when u wake up in the morning, do NOT check ur phone first thing in the morning. in fact, dont even pick up ur phone until an hour after wake up time.
step three - step one and two were for doing dopamine detox on a regular basis (daily/weekly), but if u wanna do a longer dopamine detox (monthly) get off of social media for an agreed amount of time and once you've completed that dopamine fast REWARD yourself.
ofc thats more extreme, but you know whats best for you and you know what u need the most so thats all you ✨
step four - find another activity to do. pick up a hobby that u used to enjoy doing or pick up an entirely new hobby. find something else to do OTHER than using ur phone. check the things to do while on a dopamine detox post so you can gather some inspo.
doing a dopamine detox can help you to take control of your mind and ur habits and push you towards the next level of you. and it improves ur mental health in the long run ✨
