He recommends thinking about activities or behaviors that you can\u2019t imagine going without. These are the behaviors most likely to cue your brain to release dopamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: When people think of addiction, they most often think of drugs or alcohol, but <a href=\"https:\/\/familydoctor.org\/condition\/non-substance-addiction\/#:~:text=Most%20people%20associate%20addiction%20with,are%20sometimes%20called%20behavioral%20addictions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there are numerous non-substance addictions (also known as behavioral addictions)<\/a> that people struggle with daily, ranging from social media to exercise. However, psychologists don\u2019t agree about what should be considered an addiction vs. an overindulgence. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/talking-sex-and-relationships\/202105\/are-we-overusing-the-word-addiction#:~:text=Describing%20our%20penchant%20for%20an%20activity,be%20humorous%20and%20part%20of%20everyday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Some argue that addiction has become overused in everyday speech<\/a> and thus advocate for the narrower definition of addiction as \u201ca neurological <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">dependence<\/a> on outside chemicals not normally found in the brain.\u201d Within this definition, you could be addicted to alcohol, for example, but not social media.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <strong>create barriers that make your addictive activities harder to access<\/strong>. For example, leave your phone in another room or use focus apps that block distracting websites. You can also make it easier to engage in desirable behaviors. For example, if you want to focus on working out, leave your workout clothes and equipment out so you see them right when you wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How to Build Healthy Habits That Last<\/strong><br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/atomic-habits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Atomic Habits<\/em><\/a>, James Clear, recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/atomic-habits#four-keys-to-creating-habits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">four strategies you can use to help change behaviors and build habits that stick<\/a>.<br><br>First, make the habit obvious. You can do this by creating a cue or trigger that reminds you to perform the habit. For example, if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-a-habit\/\">make a habit<\/a> of reading before bed, you can leave a book on your nightstand as a cue to remind you to read.&nbsp;<br><br>Second, make the habit attractive. You can do this by coupling the habit with something enjoyable. For example, if you want to make a habit of exercising, you can plan to listen to your favorite podcast every time you work out.&nbsp;<br><br>Third, make the habit easy. You can do this by reducing barriers to the habit and making it as simple as possible to perform. For example, if you want to make a habit of saving money, set up an automatic monthly transfer to your savings account.&nbsp;<br><br>Finally, make the habit fulfilling. You can do this by linking the habit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/a-sense-of-accomplishment\/\">a feeling of accomplishment<\/a> or by providing a tangible reward such as a treat or a break. For example, if you want to make a habit of meditating, you can reward yourself with a cup of tea after your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a> session.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, <strong>start your day without stimulation<\/strong>. Meurisse recommends setting up a morning routine that prioritizes focus over external stimulation, setting the tone for the rest of the day. Come up with two or three activities that you can do immediately after waking up that help you focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shorftorm note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-gb\/low-dopamine-morning-routine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Many TikTok users are also promoting the idea of a &#8220;low dopamine morning routine.&#8221;<\/a> This trend suggests delaying the release of dopamine by avoiding using your phone for the first hour after waking up. Proponents of the routine recommend putting your phone on the other side of the bedroom, completing a low-stress task first thing in the morning, and replacing screen time with physical activities. There&#8217;s some evidence to suggest that starting your day this way can lead to increased productivity and improved overall well-being.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you do a dopamine detox?
