@theinternalcosmos: Ever find yourself scrolling on your phone while watching TV, needing that extra bit of stimulation? That might be a sign you're chasing a dopamine rush. Dopamine is that feel-good chemical in our brain linked to pleasure and reward. When we constantly seek out multiple sources of stimulation, like switching between screens, our brain starts to rely on these high levels of dopamine. This can throw off our natural dopamine production, leading to overstimulation and impacting our mood, focus, and even stress levels. Overstimulation can make us feel anxious, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. It's like our brain is constantly running on a treadmill without a break. This not only affects our mental health but can also lead to increased stress and difficulty regulating emotions. So, what can we do about it? Taking digital breaks, reducing screen time, and engaging in activities that bring joy offline can help restore balance. Finding hobbies, spending time in nature, or simply enjoying quiet moments can be great ways to reset. It's all about creating a healthier balance for your mind and body. #dopamineaddiction #dopamine #screentime #overstimulation #overstimulated
