“I did a 30 day dopamine detox and by the end I felt like I was on a near constant high.”
“the shift I experienced on day 3, mental stillness, deeper presence, more creative ideas, was wild”
“A few months ago I started intentionally reducing unnecessary stimulation. Less scrolling, less background noise...The difference was honestly disturbing. Better focus. Clearer thinking. Lower anxiety.”
“Set up a “budget” on the dopamine your brain already gives you every day.”
“supplements likely won't do shit for you. do a dopamine detox, get sleep, exercise, meditate, read a book, generally just live well.”
