ABOUT NATALIE POTTS
Business Strategist: working with mission led entrepreneurs who want to attract more clients, close more sales and make a bigger impact in their world.
After 19 years in operational and strategic roles within the corporate world, Natalie stepped away from leading teams with a proven track record of high performance. As a qualified Performance and Corporate Executive Coach, she knew deep down she needed to re-focus on her own business if she was going to be truly happy and fulfilled. As someone who is multi passionate in business, Natalie shares it can feel restrictive when you don’t fit into a conventional box which was recognised in her passion for personal development where she won CPD Coach of the year at The International Coaching Awards and most recently become a Certified Business Strategist.

(88) The Truth About Dopamine Detox
The Focus Bee Show
12/23/21 • 8 min
Dopamine detox or dopamine fast is a trendy tendency! Everywhere, we seem to read about the importance of dopamine detoxing. What is it really all about and does it work?
- The concept of dopamine detoxing is to reduce the number of stimuli in one or several areas for a given amount of time. The idea is that by reducing it, we become less dependent or addicted to this behaviour.
- The term dopamine detox is misleading as it suggests that it reduces our dopamine levels. In fact, it does not impact our dopamine but rather gives us the opportunity to be more mindful about the way we engage in these activities.
- By taking a conscious break from addictive behaviours (such as phone, emotional eating etc.), allows becoming aware of what triggers these behaviours and how we can change them.
- In this sense, dopamine detox does ‘work’ as it helps us to rewire our behaviours, be more mindful and give ourselves a break from unhelpful habits. The term is misleading but the actions (or breaks) are helpful!
- To take a dopamine detox: simply take one or several days, during which you don’t indulge in the behaviour you want to change (phone/social media/ internet/ etc.). After your detox, observe how it has changed you and continue to be mindful about your behaviour.
The benefits of awareness and mindfulness are tremendous. Yet the term ‘dopamine detox’ sounds more elaborate. The idea stays the same: increase our awareness about our behavioural patterns so that we don’t indulge in an automatic/habitual way but are more mindful about how we spend our time and energy!
