One of my personal anti-coddling antidotes (similar to dopamine fast) that I use occasionally to reduce overstimulation: no music/radio or podcast in the car. Just me and my thoughts and emotions. Helps me to think things through and it prevents me from the coddling of thought-procrastination (listening to music to avoid thinking about something challenging or disappointing).

On very long solo drives, sometimes I have to resort to silence for a stretch to break things up. Helps clear my head a bit.
