the boredom!
Your dopamine detox
list will depend greatly on what things you're addicted to (things
you just can't resist). Of course, you only need to dopamine detox
from things that are unproductive and bad for you, if you get
dopamine from things that are productive and good for you, that's
fantastic.

Benefits
There are massive
benefits to following the dopamine detox ethos, such as improved
health and improved wealth. You might learn that some of those things
you were so addicted to, you don't like so much after all.
Dopamine detox is about
getting control back. It's a form of training that teaches your body
to get dopamine from things that benefit you!
"It's up to you
to decide where you're going to get your dopamine from.
Are you going to get
it from things that don't benefit you?
Or are you going to
get it from working on your long term goals?"
"(Millionaires)
realize that instant gratification is fun - but
delayed gratification is so much better. Today’s sacrifices
set them up for tomorrow’s success."
