I did this thing... "Dopamine Detox"

I wanted to share something with you that I've taken on.

I accidentally came across a video that made me think.

So I took a leap and tried it out.

It's called a DOPAMINE DETOX.

A way to denounce all pleasures for a period of time.

I am opting for 1 day a week. (for now)

Every Wednesday I have scheduled to do this detox challenge, although I've missed both Wednesdays and did it Thursday instead. 🤦‍♀️

In my defence sometimes schedules go out the door when you have kids, I even forget what day of the week it is.

So far I've done it for 2 days.

My experience...

Oh my god! Was it boring! Lol

Besides the kids keeping me on my toes, I had nothing to run to to "escape"

Usually after a stressful day, I run to my phone and play a silly game or watch something to make me laugh.

Not on Detox Day!

I had

1. No phone

2. No TV

3. No internet

4. No coffee

5. No junk food

6. No sugar

I couldn't believe how much I relied on these things to make me "Happy"

I however could...

1. Read (nothing crazy)

2. Journal

3. Go for a walk

4. Play with the kids

5. Do my usual chores (without music...ugh)

It was a wild experience!

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but it definitely was a new experience that I will be partaking in every week.

Here is the link! This video will explain it better than I can.
