Get rid of all distractions

Most of us have heard of the term "dopamine detox" though not so many know what It really refers to, usually thinking that It is another scheme on the internet or someone trying to sell us something. However, there's a reason as to why It is so popular. What the term Dopamine Detox refers to is to the "normalization" of your levels of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter associated with our sense of reward and pleasure, through the removal of the many sources of Its unstability and our day to day distractions, all so you can increase your productivity and your mental clarity. You might ask what things can cause us to have such a negativity relationship to our enjoyment of things and you might be surprised as to how common these are and how much time they make us waste. All the activities that give us false satisfaction for performing a particular pattern of actions can be counted as real threats, such as scrolling through your social media feeds in an undiscriminated way, playing videogames, watching TV and all the practices that even If seemingly pleasurable, are making us feel void inside. That's why in this article i will present you with the most common challenge for the Dopamine Detox community: The 24 hour Dopamine Detox, something which, If initially unnerving, can open your eyes as to what you can be missing on life. Let's begin by explaining It in detail.


What this challenge is about?

The 24 hour Dopamine Detox indicates that all the activities that are associated with instant gratification and procrastination, such as social media, videogames, self pleasuring and junk food, should be avoided for a period of 24 hours, instead of It just doing things that are considered productive and the best use of our time, such as reading books, working out, walking or talking to other people. As simple as It can sound, It can be pretty difficult to keep up with It after succumbing to time-consuming activities for so much time and trying to get rid of them abruptly, though If you manage to stick to the challenge and pass a whole day without these, you will surely see the benefits of It.

Now you know what the 24 hour Dopamine Detox Challenge is now, though you might not be entirely convinced of It, so I will talk about the benefits that It can bring to your life, all so you can give It a chance and see for yourself. Let's begin:


More hours in the day.

The first thing that you'll notice when practicing the Dopamine Detox is that you will find a great surplus of free hours in your day, time that can be spend in activities that are enjoyable for you and that can also have a positive impact in your development, such as learning a new skill, talking with your loved ones or any hobby that can be labeled as productive.

Increased Focus

By reducing the number of distractions in your immediacy, you'll find yourself much more focused in the task at hand, giving all your focus to a singular object and putting the required effort to make significative advancements in it, increasing in this way the quality of the final product.

Overall productivity

Knowing that you'll have more free time and that you can put your attention in a single place for a prolonged period of time, in these 24 hours you will find that you will feel more content with what you've done throughout the day, knowing that you have made the best use of your schedule possible.
