from Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Anna Lembke
How to Apply This
- ** Track how much time you spend consuming a high-dopamine substance, for example, by clocking your smartphone use.**
If you're spending much time on your smartphone, for example, monitor how long you usually spend using it. This will help you become aware of and mitigate your consumption. - ** Set a time limit or finish line for dopamine consumption.**
Decide when and how often you will consume dopamine-inducing activities, such as watching TV, playing video games, or eating unhealthy food. - ** Seek professional help.**
If you find yourself unable to control your dopamine consumption, seek professional help. A therapist can help you develop healthier habits and behaviors.
