How many types of detoxes have you heard of? The list is growing. Anyone eager to rid themselves of a negative habit can find detox remedies on the Internet where solutions abound. Perhaps you know someone with a serious alcohol or drug addiction who sought professional detox services. Maybe you tried fasting, diets, colon, or stress cleanses—each designed to rid the body of toxins.
It was only a matter of time before society adapted the detox concept to help folks suffering the downsides of device addiction, say Georgetown University researchers. If you’re one of them, one of the most pleasurable way to reduce screen time is to remove yourself from the environment that seeks your attention 24/7 by declaring a digital detox. The best option? Get thee to a paradise that’s so tranquil and distracting, perpetual demand for attention can be conquered—even if you bring your device along!
Your detox tutorial
Georgetown Professor Kostadin Kushlev specializes in smartphone addiction. He explains that receiving calls triggers dopamine hits in the brain—especially if that call is social media related. What does it take to break the cycle? Imagine being transported to the adults-only Coco Plum Island Resort, the Belize paradise where your attention is diverted, devices can’t compete for your attention, and luxuriating in island life where there are no kids to up your stress levels will all help keep you distracted.
Your job? Turn off your notifications. Delete apps you never use. Don’t keep your device next to your bed at night. Commit to turning your phone off for 15 minutes on day one. Next day, make it 30 minutes. Continue to increase the time. Importantly, plan distractions that take your mind off your device while staying at Coco Plum. In concert, this plan will reinforce the pleasure you get during your stay at this lush resort.
