Dopamine Detox

Learn how to reset your focus, productivity, and overall capacity for happiness.
Yes, it's that important. In our modern age, we are constantly flooded with dopamine. That might sound like a good thing, but it means that we constantly require more and more stimulation to feel simple happiness. It's a very, very bad thing. It's the root of why we can't accomplish what we want, and why we can't even feel what we want.
Learn how to detox your dopamine, biohack your nutrition, and master the art of energizing sleep.

You'll see how 1, 3, and 7 day detoxes can work, and you'll also learn about the other ways you can prepare your body for peak performance, such as with your gut biome, your sleep, and how small nudges can make you the healthiest person you know.

    A single night without sleep can increase the amount of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine promotes wakefulness, and it can be difficult to fall asleep due to higher levels. At the same time, it suggests that not sleeping well can lead to problems with dopamine and increased levels of the substance, which also has implications for cognitive performance and the reaction to different habits

    One common obstacle for this is perfectionism: no matter how well you did, you could have done better. Perfectionism can make us afraid to look at our own work with pride and recognize, much less celebrate everything that we have achieved.

    Perfectionism can make us less motivated and devalue our achievements, because we feel that they are not good enough or do not fit the internal bar that we have set. This means that even when we do well, we do not recognize our achievements but instead focus on the negative aspects, which leads to disappointment and, due to this, a dip in dopamine and a loss of motivation

    outcomes.

    A focus on results often suggests the possibility of failure. If you don’t do as well as you want, you might be disappointed. Disappointment is a state produced by a failure to predict an adequate reward and, as such, leads to a negative state (in contrast with a pleasant surprise that increases the amount of dopamine our brain releases). Some people only need a small experience with disappointment to be unwilling to take risks or pursue results (Tzieropolous et al., 2011, The impact of disappointment in decision making: inter-individual differences and electrical neuroimaging). While this might appear as a good thing when seeking to reduce dopamine levels, in practice, it drives us to the other extreme and can put a big dent in our plans for self-improvement and growth.

    When you focus on the process, you can save yourself the disappointment. You will fulfill the goal anyway and reduce the likelihood of being demotivated by the results not being up to snuff.
