Dopamine Drives the Scroll

Dopamine is a brain chemical that drives our desire to scroll for notifications, likes, and infinite feeds. It's easy to get caught in this loop, but we can break it by becoming aware of our urges.

To avoid constantly scrolling, try these tips:

• Take a tech break and do something non-digital.
• Limit your screen time. Set a timer or use apps to track usage.
• Unsubscribe from unnecessary notifications and delete apps you don't use.
• Be mindful of your urge to scroll and choose a different activity instead.

Technology can change our desires, but we can take control by being aware of our actions.
