 Dopamine is a very essential chemical present in our brain. By using this Dopamine detox technique we can easily make hard task easy. Before I tell you about this technique let's first understand what is Dopamine? because this molecule controls our entire life secretly. 

If I give you a choice between playing a video game for 30 mins and studying for one hour then most probably you will choose a video game. You know that studying is more important than playing a video game but then also you will choose a video game because even after knowing what is right for us we don't make the right choice. It is not your fault this occurs due to a chemical present in your brain and its name is Dopamine.

What is Dopamine?

If you see a drug addict then many times you will not be able to understand their actions, you will think that "why this man is wasting his life in these things?". You need to understand that their reason for staying on their addiction and your reason for not studying is the same and that is Dopamine.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is present in our body and it is a chemical of our brain which gives us pleasure feeling. Dopamine makes us feel good. whenever you win a video game or watch your favourite movie or eat junk food, your brain releases dopamine. I am not going to make you bored with the dopamine science.

Is dopamine really good?

Dopamine gives us the motivation to do anything in the world. The higher the Dopamine will release higher will be our motivation. If our brain does not release dopamine then we will feel depressed and sad. Now you might be thinking that Dopamine is a good thing, what's wrong with it?. Yes, you are right Dopamine is very useful for us but the problem is with the modern world. Today many companies spend a lot of money on researches and experiments in an order to make a product that will release the most dopamine in us. Social media and game are programmed in such a way that they will become addictive to us. In reality, our Dopamine system is hijacked and unless we can control it we will never reach our full potential. Remember Dopamine is not a bad thing, we play games because we get Dopamine from it but what if we get dopamine by studying or working on a business?. French philosopher Blaise Pascal said that "All of humanity's problems is man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone".

Active-passive rule.

When you wake up in the morning you should be in an active zone. In the inactive zone, you should not do any high dopamine activity like social media, Tv games. In that zone, you should perform all the important task which is important but gives you less dopamine like studying. You can set your time for your active zone whether it be two hours or four hours and when it ends your passive zone starts.

In the passive zone, you can perform the work which gives you moderate Dopamine like social media, TV, etc.

You should perform your Dopamine releasing only after finishing important work. If you won't achieve big things in your life then you should avoid all high dopamine activities because this thing will distract you most.
