In my experience, one day is not enough time to properly detox—It’s closer to four weeks. At that point I started to enjoy the “little things” in life again: writing, taking a walk, cooking a balanced meal after the gym. Without a second thought, if it was something that moved the hedonic set point up, it was a no from me.
The hardest part was limiting my intake of information. Whether it was short form content, fast food, or even a quick email check, every hit reset the detox. Many people talk about watching what you eat but they hardly talk about watching what you read, see and hear. Filtering information must become a full time job.
PS. This is how I practice my writing. Excuse my lack of experience.
That’s interesting, I don’t know why it would take that much longer for you to get what appear to be the same things that I get within a single day of detoxing. I haven’t tried 4 weeks, maybe it’s a qualitatively different experience.
I generally agree on the point about reading consumption.
