Dopamine Detox

On Sunday, I’ll be taking a fast from all technology and virtually everything that can release dopamine in my brain. I’m doing this not only to curb my reliance on things that are not serving me, but also to gain perspective on what is really a priority to me. It will become clearer to me about how I handle uncertainty, solitude, boredom, and many other things that I have tended to divert myself away from. 

This is going to be my first time doing something like that, and so I look forward to getting past the first hour, because that will surely be the hardest. I will have a journal with me to capture certain thoughts that come up. But beyond that, there will be no excess writing either, because writing gives me dopamine too. I look forward to sharing my experience.
