This post is the honest expectations I have for my dopamine detox journey.
Expectations
As I write this, I have no idea what to expect from the second day of my detox journey.
Like, my imagination can't even begin to understand what might actually happen.
When this article is released I'm just about 36-38 hours in (depending on the exact time I start) and I will already have been having a hard time not going to my laptop.
I imagine things are getting increasingly difficult.
Today has been the day where I've been on my walk with my two friends.
Will I have failed the challenge and went for a beer with them?
I honestly have no clue. But(!!), my guess is no.
I am very stubborn when it comes to almost anything.
That can be both good and bad, but it's not the topic of this post, so I better stop yapping on about that...
I'm not sure if there is a difference between my expectations and my hope. There probably is, but as mentioned a few times before, I will fight for this challenge.
Hardest part
I suspect not eating will be a contender for the hardest part. Along with not using a screen, of course.
Maybe it will be a good idea to get my hands on some interesting books, as suggested to me before.
Have I informed people that I will be unavailable for these days? Probably not all.
I hope they won't get nervous and come running when they can't get a hold of me 🤣
I might be walking around in my living room, restless and trying to find excuses for all kind of weird stuff.
Should probably put a post-it note on the fridge (even if that is not in the living room) saying
Stay strong!
That's actually a good idea. I'll do that!
Who knew, that doing articles like this would spark ideas for what's to come? 😎
Keep it up
Nothing much on this part.
Writing this mostly as a reminder to myself, since typing stuff down makes me remember them better...
- Stay on track
- Trust in the process
- Pull yourself together and build the discipline that comes with the challenge
- Do workouts if you're bored
For the love of all good:
Keep it up, stay true to yourself!
Join me in my journey on my expectations for day 3.
Will be out in about 24 hours after this is posted.
Engagement part
Not quite sure what to expect from the engagement on these posts. Probably not a lot.
Will you prove me wrong?
A quick question here:
Is there anything else your would put in the "Keep it up" section? Or maybe change something?
Let me know! I promise I'll get back to each and every one of you 💯
