Show Notes:

• Your mind would go with what it knows is it the easy way out, quickest way to get dopamine
• Dopamine is a neurotransmitter as many others in the brain, but the point of a dopamine detox is to limit the sources of dopamine intake from technology sources (movies, music, video games, social media, internet)
• The mind will reset and regulate the dopamine intake from a more natural source of dopamine intake. In other words the simple free things will give you a dopamine hit.
• The goal is to simplify your life, and asking yourself why is it that you want to do it, and what exactly you want to be doing.
• The detox will show your mind where it has been getting its dopamine and where it will be getting its dopamine moving forward, while increasing your focus overtime and helping you reach your potential.
• Learn to be ok in the discomfort and break free from your old rhythm (ingrain pattern of behavior that your mind would automatic default to)
• Eliminating your distractions will increase your awareness.
• A dopamine detox is a temporary thing but it leads to a new lifestyle of alignment.

How to do a dopamine detox:

1. Let people know what you are about to do.
2. Cut out all notification on your phone. Leave your phone on a particular spot in your house.
3. Limit all technology/screen intake. No music, no reading if possible.
4. Just sit with it.
