Example

Zoe was stuck in a cycle of social media dopamine hits, always needing a new notification or video. She did a one-day dopamine detox — no phone, no screens, no sugar, no junk info. It was hard. And quiet. But afterward, she noticed how jumpy her brain had become. She now does a “reset day” every month. It’s not a fix-all, but it helps her stay intentional.
