i freakin' LOVE this channel! there is literally a 98% rate of me watching everything they put out, even just by title alone. thank you topthink!💕💕

Deep down everyone knows what it takes but not everyone is willing to do it

There was a time last year we didn't have electricity for 2 days, meaning no access to TV or internet. After those 2 days, I felt my focus & concentration has increased. I could put my mind into anything without getting lazy or distracted. That's when I realized dopamine fasting is real.

Dopamine: "watch this video. It's time you start to fight back against me"

I love getting texts from my mom...

A phone is so dangerous, it could literally ruin your life in the long run. imagine not being able to get into that dream job because of your grades. and your grades are low because you spent too much time on your phone.

My life is just like playing games, so I've put to end to this life. I have removed all games from my phone.I'll do from tomorrow is meditation, exercise, reading, painting and studying. I'm Japanese and I'm not good at English, but I think I'll improve very much next year!

5:50 thank me later

I think dopamine tolerance is the main cause of depression and laziness in teenagers. If I ever scroll through social media, when I am done, for the rest of the day everything seems boring and I am unmotivated. This needs to be spread to more teens.

This video is so true, I actually did these things before knowing there was a name for it along with meditation and it actually helped me to resist certain behaviors

Dopamine detox definitely helps with anxiety and depression

When you’ve been on KZfaq for so long that the algorithm gives you ways to do other things.

So, basically... A dopamine detox or abstaining from a habit doesn't change who you are, but can help you have better self control in making decisions by building healthier habits. Abstaining from a certain activity is hard because of, "Withdrawal".

I learn many things from this channel than my school

Humanity’s most often committed crime: The killing of time. 😉

Ramadan is your answer for humanity.

Wish I could receive a text from my mom....

it's crazy how this works I started no fap and 20 days in I went out with friends, I dont ever get out I didnt go out with friends for over a year because I was addicted to gaming I guess. After that night out I literally didnt feel like going on the computer, watched videos that inspired me to do things in life. It's crazy but it's gone now which sucks.

a dopamine detox simply is a training in self discipline

I am enjoying this video....but have stopped in the middle due to dopamine fasting ! Thank you !

How many of you got a dopamine hit from watching this video?

Reading comments while watching the video also hit dopamine . Well thanks buddy for this incredible video I'm starting dopamine detox form now wish me luck ☺☺

Great Video! Can you also make a video on how to reward ourselves during the detox. I did the detox for one whole week and it went pretty well. But after that, I suddenly went back to all the habits that I took a detox from. I believe it's because I didn't plan a reward system.

Must admit that I went through such thing as dopamine detox a few months back when my phone reminded me that it has no wings and falling off the selfie stick (surprise surprise! It wasn’t used then to take a selfie but a huge panorama of a view out of the window on the first floor) straight onto concrete floor it ends with a “WHAT WAS THAT?!” From my Dad seeing “something just flying like a suicidal bird”... and then a few weeks later with no phone, no KZfaq on hand, no messenger etc. I really was a different person. Might have to reconsider such detox, just in a less expensive way than smashing a mobile (also, I’ve been a graphic design student with love for 🍏 products so you can imagine what phone was it...) onto a concrete slab... just actually to make a conscious decision myself to detox my life a little from technology.

I usually ignore self help crap BUT this is valuable information. Nothing I didn't already know BUT today I needed that reinforcement. Walked 2 miles, off Facebook and limited interactions. Hoping for success; deprivation is hard!

So basically the idea is to stop doing things that are counterproductive and destructive. If it takes calling this a "dopamine detox" to get people to do it, so be it. Ultimately though, you simply have to avoid those things that cause problems in your life on an ongoing basis or they will continue to cause problems in your life.

sometimes i wish youtube never existed.. it's so addicting i have an exam on monday and instead of studying im stuck to youtube

I watched other about "dopamine detox" videos, but questioned its rigor, and finally found a more rigorous video, thank you.

All i learnt from this video is me getting high everyday is toxic

Voice over man: welcome to Bright Side... I mean TopThink

I'm at a really low point right now, just watching this now I want to start fresh today. I hope this works I need to reset my brain

It can take about 30 days for your dopamine baseline to normalize again, you can break the habit. Dr. Anna Lembke explains more about that in her vids.

Thanos' Daughter- What did dopamine cost? Thanos- Everything 😭😭😭

"Avoiding human interaction is hard" Me,an introvert: You underestimate my superpower mortal

This is the best "dopamine detox" video out there. It's more balanced and educational, and safe for kids to watch because it doesn't constantly refer to substances and other activities not appropriate for kids.

Yes, starting from now, i'm ready to have a much better life Wish me luck :) Thursday, 10 December 2020

You are watching a video about dopamine detox and yet you scroll down the comments looking for stimulation

It changed my life my productivity skyrocket and my anxiety was gone! I got so many new friends this is 3 or 4 video iam watching about dopamine detox

i love to be the part of this video . but thundered on watching this video on the device i hate using.

This is my way of doing it and I'm not gonna lie the hardest part is to do what's important for your life but don't give you dopamine burst e.g. study and the urge to play games and sliding social media creep up whenever you need to make decision... Step1: Remove social apps on phone Step2:Do the priority the hard work first and take a break once in a while Step3:Resist the desire to do what make you addict and spend a lot of time Step4:Repeat it Step5:Feel powerful and gain control of your life again

Creating rules for my self really helps. Because if I'm breaking it than I'm breaking something that I stabblished. It already gives that feeling of controlling my own life.

1 week in. Let me say, find something to do that you want to do. The depressive withdrawals from detoxing can be too much to handle. This is my first fast, I intend to do another but I’m not sure I can do a whole month without.

Bro my motivation is definitely gone and am always on my Xbox but your videos help me so much, posting daily makes your content so much more interesting and keeps us entertained 👏🏻👏🏻

My problem is watching KZfaq when I get home from work or when I'm working... instead of being in my music studio doing what I really like to do instead , I just go for the easy route and turn on my TV when I get home, it's getting ridiculous. For hours n hours .

Sharing this video on my social media accounts. Aaaaaa. Dopamine

I don't usually have problems with focus or concentration. Never felt like I was ADHD or overloaded on dopamine

So if I want to learn how to draw, THROW my phone, PC, TV etc. out of the window, and just START FRICKIN' DRAWING.

Nice, love the emphasis on the realistic expectations from a detox

You don’t do “a detox” it’s a lifestyle , that’s when doing regular things becomes fun again and you get your curiosity and excitement for life back, not excitement for your addictions , your overall happier with less brain fog and a clearer perception on life and your goals and passions

Guess I'll go ride my bike instead of watching more videos now. Thanks for the motivation!

I wish i could have given this video more than one like!!!!!!thanks for being realistic and practical.

this sounds a lot like meditation. glad the neuro science guys are catching on...finally

Just love the sober view on this tool, and making it clear what it is NOT. That was the point I actually became interested in trying this.

Anyone who doesn't get excited at your mom/dad's text, when that isn't possible your gonna regret getting THAT feeling. I promise.

I came here for help, but one minute in and the description of the detox, more or less, describes my life in a nutshell already.

Im having a hard time focusing on my online class, one minute I'm scanning notes on my phone, the next thing I know I'm laughing at Facebook memes for an hour straight 💀💀

Thank you so much for breaking this down! I watched another video on this that just didn’t feel right. This breaks everything down in a way that I can completely understand and follow

learning depamine detox on youtube , lol haha. best way is to stop the smartphone usage in daily life

changes your life literally I learned you are in control of your mind always do what needs to be done not what you want to do

You Really Have The Most Increible Content! Thank You.

Thank you for this informative and concise video with realistic expectations.

it's hard when you live with it and someone who can trigger it

I'm watching this video for my daily dopamine.

A little more self-control over these dings, buzzes, and random dopamine hits would be welcomed.

i love this channel very good, educate me and tech me things i never know 📖📖

Agh this detox is for those who wants to control themselves from using the phone when a dingdong notification sound appears. Thankgod i keep my phone on silent :^)

I tried this for half day . And the result was soo euphoric . But when the night comes I totally changed and go back to my social media connection .Now feels soooo gloomy 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Great video. I am doing a dopamine detox cause I was addicted to gaming. When I stopped I felt more free than ever before. I am doing it a month right now it works very good for me. It is a seriously good idea to do something like this if you struggle with addictions like gaming.

Apply what you learn here and realize how its being used on us. #stayawake

It does make you overall more peaceful and happier , you’ll fill your lifestyle with née and more purposeful things, that’s the point

I always ignore notification and I all ways do what I like

Have you done a video about maladaptive daydreaming? I need that.... 😢

According to this video, I should get out of my room and start socialising.. Jeez I hate meeting people..

I got a dopamine rush typing in this video and scrolling through search results with the KZfaq algorithm😍

Yes, I have paused the video to comment that I have seen the word “vote” in 3:40

You just made my brain produce more dopamine to practice dopamine detox 😂

Did you know that reading comments releases dopamine? Get back to the video

I think I need to try this. It's hard!! Been trying for weeks now. But I will be successful.

This background music make me want to do a life detox

Everyone has been detoxing from dopamine the past 6 months. Can’t do anything. Too much detoxing from dopamine is causing depression though.

That's why I always feel an internal pleasure in the month of Ramadan❤️.

Watching this vdo during online class 😁

the great reset I want to have in my live

My dopomin also tigged me here to watch what all intelectual peoples are searching for 😁

What if your favorite thing to do is to avoid doing your favorite things?

I have been doing detox of dopamine without knowing it!!!! Now I know that what I was so is called dopamine detox. 🥺

Did anyone came to comments and checked for summarisation 😂

Wow, Top think team make such a interesting video- Dopamine Detox. I guess that most adolescents may want to try for the personal experiment. Because the dopamine is so, so important to regulate the human behavior and cognitive function...So I just trust in own central nervous system for this Dopamine Detox..

Well I'm Buddhist we call use conscious to control all of those in video.

I get dopamine rush when I learn something new and that's why I want to detox so that I can focus on one 😃

Very very very very very nice video.

This could have been said shortly and efficiently, instead of forcing viewers to watch 10 minute video.

Videos actually partially wrong; it does actually increase pleasure from activites, not just the "action to do something that is enticing us" this is beucase of homeostasis; whenever u engage in a highly stimulating reward, like porn or video games or even cocaine; over exposure to these things arent just "cues" from dopamine, the actual enjoyment from doing them, after a while decreases, so u feel an increase to do them, but the reward feels lessened, thats because your nuerotransmitters have downregulated dopamine (think about blood glucose sensitvity) once you have downregulated dopmaine, normal things that stimulate normal people, will be less stimulating for you, and that cycle goes on and on, but most people however, dont go crazy and indulge in more and more hardcore things, they instead repeat the cycle of their normal stimulating acitvites, and then they find other areas of their life unrewarding, becuase their dopmaine is less sensitive (when you abstain from things you enjoy, ur body will crave more and more, eventually it will spring new "dopamine transporters" and that means that ur body will latch onto dopamine from any activity that is even mildly enjoyable, and make it more enjoyable.

Know your triggers avoid, them think of consequences and why you like it, too. find a sponsor. make that FIRM decision to quit. Set a quit date. Cut back until then or go cold turkey. Your recovery actually starts then. Ride that wave of the urge...it goes away. Distract yourself from the thought of the drug\high. Take a deep breath, and meditate. Slow down. Instead, think of your feelings or thoughts when a craving occurs. Go to AA, NA, or support group meetings and set that goal. Feel good about abstinence and that success. Find a hobby or alternative action. avoid temptation. forget that high. don't be too tough on yourself if you...relapse. Remember your quit date. Be proud of it. Tell friends and family for support. You may want a fiduciary. Or hide the money in a savings account from yourself. May have to avoid certain friends or places. Lead a balanced life.. planning, work, food and hydration, good sleep, exercise, interaction, relaxation, entertainment, alone time, hobbies, reading, and rest. Accept my prayer. Quit it!! You can do it.

But desire and wanting is the way to make it more fun or more motivated.

never been this early

I fast everyday and have been on keto for a while.... My dope is on point.

The video & background is very colourful to release dopamine 😁

Stop-Think-Decide 😊
