Dopamine Detox for a Week

By IJB063 in Personal Development -- [Main],
I’m gonna stick to a “dopamine detox” for a week starting from [13/06/20] Ending on [20/06/20] A Dopamine Detox is basically the avoidance of all base vices, as to deliberately make yourself bored to resensitize yourself to experience, and reset the chemical soup in your mind so that you’re motivated again to do actual productive things. To get yourself out of your rut and to become productive you need boredom or "dopaminergic ammo" to give yourself the neuro chemical desire to actually step outside of your comfort zone. Our culture is a "novelty culture", which is a built around hooking in to your brain and keeping you constantly stimulated in a zombie like trance, so that people can extract money from you. What boring yourself does is starves those pathways and resets the mind out of that zombie like trance. So here are the rules. What I Can do Meditate Read Write Exercise  What I Can’t do Use the Internet Watch Television  Use Social Media Socialising  Use any Screen  Eat Junk Food No Substances No Music Etc... Anything that I find stimulating is banned. Until 20/06/20, then I can slowly give myself back vices and keep them in a schedule, to find it easier for me to make my schedule stick.
