Dopamine detox
Hey!
Today I'm on a dopamine detox because for the last few days I was hitting too much on dopamine. You must be wondering about what a dopamine detox is? Well, I wrote about dopamine in one of the previous blogs. So, when you are spending too much time on things that give instant dopamine, like social media, television, movies, or junk food then you become less productive, and the productivity keeps on decreasing while your time on instant dopamine activities increase. And in this way, you lose your productivity and become a lazy lad. Now, if one wants to regain that productivity, they have to reset the dopamine levels in their brain which can be done by going on a dopamine detox(I used the word "dopamine" 8 times!). It involves not doing all those things which require no effort but give instant dopamine, like the ones I wrote above. This makes our brain crave dopamine. And because you can't do anything which gives instant gratification your brain will now look for anything which can hit dopamine, so it will gradually get out of the lazy mood and will even start enjoying the feeling you get after finishing your assignment.I try this method almost after every two or three weeks, depending on how much comfort zone I'm getting into. And it helps me maintain my productivity.
Also, today I realized that life can be totally different for us if we stop worrying about what people will think. Well, I know, it's something very obvious, but I mean just look at some life decisions which the majority of us make based on the opinion of what people will think. For most of us, it's always about taking that decision that will make people think that we are the best even if we don't personally like that decision. Most of the people are doing this and that is why most of the people are not highly successful. We all know that only a very few people in this world are way too ahead of the rest of the population, and I think maybe because they made the decisions they liked irrespective of people's opinion. Though there are other factors as well, this is also one of those. Maybe, some other day I will elaborate more on this topic.
