Your brain is cooked, and you did it with your thumbs. Scrolling, binging, chasing cheap dopamine while your discipline dies a slow death. In this episode, we hit the hard reset. We’re talking dopamine detox, what it is, why your mind is numb to real reward, and how to reclaim control. Backed by Scripture and battle-tested habits, this is your blueprint to starve the noise, renew your mind, and train your brain to crave what actually matters. Kill the craving. Reset the reward system. And take back your fire.

SOTD - “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” — Romans 12:2
TACTICAL APPLICATION STEPS:
1. 24-Hour Hard Reset:
Cut all high-dopamine activities: no social media, no YouTube, no processed sugar, no porn, no mindless entertainment. Just silence and simplicity.
2. Replace with Purposeful Inputs:
Go outside. Read the Word. Work out. Journal. Have face-to-face conversations. Do something hard with no reward but the doing.
3. Set a New Rhythm:
Pick 1–2 dopamine triggers you permanently reduce or remove. Use habit tracking to build back intentional control over your inputs.
Dangerous Focus for the WeekStarve the noise. Feed the discipline.
Do a 24-hour dopamine fast this week and document the withdrawals. Then fight through them. The pain is your brain rebooting. Stay in it.
