Break the loop: How a dopamine detox can finally help you stop overthinking
Overthinking might stem from your brain's reward system, scientists suggest. A 'dopamine detox' from digital overload and instant gratification can reset focus and silence mental noise. By reducing high-stimulation activities, your brain's reward pathways rebalance, making normal tasks satisfying again. This reset, alongside practices like mindfulness and journaling, helps break cycles of rumination and indecision.
