The Age of Hyper-Stimulation

Every day, we are bombarded with notifications, infinite scrolls, and instant gratification. The excessive dopamine released in this process strips away our focus and creates a state of “dopamine tolerance,” where simple pleasures no longer feel satisfying.

Check your current dopamine status and start your detox.

Practical Tips for Dopamine Detox

  1. Cut the Stimulation: Try using Grayscale mode on your phone or turn off all non-essential notifications.
  2. Embrace Boredom: Allow yourself to do nothing for a while. This is where the brain starts to regain its creative edge.
  3. Alternative Activities: Replace digital noise with “slow rewards”—read a physical book, take a walk, or practice a hobby like drawing.

When you reset your brain, subtle happiness becomes visible again. Why not start with just one hour today?
