It's a thing.

Published 4:05 PM EST Dec 5, 2019

Dopamine is important, as Breuning explains, “because it creates a good feeling that turns on the reserve tank of energy,” that, for example, “motivates a monkey to take a step toward a piece of fruit.” The closer the monkey gets the the fruit – testing to see if a branch can hold his weight, and stepping in the direction of the banana – the more dopamine he gets.

Rublin says he’s become a “dopamine addict” who has found himself caught up in his phone and digital persona, especially when he’s on tour. It’s a bad habit that leaves him feeling mentally drained.The term has a different definition for everyone, but for Rublin it means making a concerted effort, in a set amount of time, to avoid social media and TV.

During a fast, “when a crush texts, me, I’m just going to ignore that text,” says Rublin, 32. “It's not because I'm an evil person, it's because I'm really trying to center my heart in a world filled with all this . I shut off everything except for music … but I might post one Instagram story to show my parents that I’m alive.”Spencer Kohn and Pre-K studio
