Dopamine is a neurotransmitter made in your brain. But did you know at what extent it makes us do certain actions?
A lot of people just aren't aware of what damage dopamine can cause to us.

As I said before, dopamine is a chemical released in the brain.
It is involved in making decisions, always looking for pleasure.

Today, we live in a world full of stimuli.
And it is all thanks to our hiper-connected planet, where we have more access than ever to high releases of dopamine, whether it is videogames, social media, proccessed food...

It is no coincidence that we are less focused than ever. Our attention is a skill that can be developed or worsened and this affects our relationships and goals for the future. For example: someone who prefers staying at home scrolling through social media rather than meeting some friends won't make any friends in the future.

However, not all hope is lost. As I said before, your attention is a skill that can be trained through meditating or other simpler activities such as walking or running.
I also reccommend setting timers for certain apps that distract you so that when you reach it, it won't let you use it for the rest of the day.
These are excellent habits that will help you improve your attention.

If the previously mentioned habits don't work for you, you can try a relatively new practice.
It consists of choosing the activities that release most dopamine to you (eating chocolate, watching Netflix, playing videogames) and completely stop doing them for a week.
People that have tried it say that it's a bit difficult at the beginning, but they don't regret doing it.

Will you try some of these practices?
Don't forget to comment any doubt, suggestion, etc.
See you later.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
