Dopamine detox

1. AT LEAST 2 WEEKS of dopamine detox

2. Get ready for boredom in the two weeks, schedule things to fill your day to avoid boredom

3. Go for walks, read a book, clean your house/room, go grocery shopping, cook your meals, exercise.

4. SCHEDULED and ACTIVE media consumption is allowed like scheduled watching 1 movie a day, or listening to music.

5. PASSIVE mindless consumption is NOT allowed: ie scrolling social media platforms, binge watching netflix/youtube/twitch.

6. No video games, uninstall to help against temptation. Board game night with friends is allowed. DND over discord is allowed.

7. Socialize with friends, better yet, have them do it with you, tell them what youre doing so you can keep each other accountable.

8. Be careful when hanging out with friends over discord. Catch yourself when youre mindlessly opening tabs and stop.

9. Learn a new skill! Code, learn words in a new language, become a jiu jitsu master.

10. Don't beat yourself up about it! If you make a mistake during the detox what's important is you keep going back on track instead of giving up because you "might as well cause you already fucked up".
