"It's not about deleting social media permanently or setting a rule to never indulge in any instant gratification activities again. Rather, it's important to be intentional about what you consume." Loved it✨

KZfaq is like a pretty important app to me half my studies are done on it but the new feature of shorts that they have integrated in it has destroyed my life I randomly open KZfaq and boom I'm in shorts I just can't escape it it's so sad... I really want to change but the one thing essential for my development is the same thing that's destroying my life. Edit: Ig my comment reached to several suffering peeps Edit 2- HOLY SCHNITZ ALMOST 1K LIKES :O ty y'all

The best dopamine detox video that I’ve seen. At 65, I’ve watched my life go down the toilet since Facebook, apps, Smartphones, iPads. I remember my life before personal technology as being more full, pursuing sports, music, creativity, and IRL social experiences. Now, I say I can live anywhere as long as there’s internet and my life Will basically be the same, scrolling my way to death. Even though I’ve taken advantage of many positive aspects of KZfaq (learning to play piano, ukulele, violin; pursuing the great philosophers and books with inspiring guidance, support in making positive changes in my life like yourself), I find myself seeking more videos than doing the actual activities. I’ve become a passive observer of life rather than an active participant. I’ll have to dig deep and make the commitment to launch this sorely needed detox. Thank you for your clarity, insight, and completeness.

crazy how im getting dopamine over dopamine detoxing videos

I'm in med school, I spent 10 hours on my phone today, and I have an exam on Thursday and haven't started yet. This upload came at the right time, thank you ❤️

I always watch these types of videos, and they always say to delete social media, or other similar stuff. But as ive started my ‘journey’ ive noticed that small amounts of scrolling, in intervals really helps me. My feed it filled with my personal interests such as philosophy, psychology, and other things that i can learn and take advantage of. I love how you express this in your video as i dont see anyone else doing the same.

Well, I've just come back after absolutely messing up an exam and I feel terrible and exhausted, that yet again I feel this sense of regret. Not because I failed it but because I didn't perform to my potential at all. And I've realized that the root cause of this is all the small bad habits which I've been doing everyday. Whether it's scrolling through youtube mindlessly, or playing video games or over using social media, all these factors contribute to how I've been performing academically and mentally too. It's a blessing that I've found this video, and now I know exactly how I can be who I want to be. Thank you for being a changing point in someone's life and keep it the good work man! Will post results after a week or 2 of my detox! Edit: Update Comment below! Thank you everyone

I tried dopamine detox for 24h and made me realize how INSANELY addicted to my phone I actually was. I'm now going to use your protocol and go for full week detox. Thanks for the advice and the good content, keep up the good work ❤️

A key to succeeding in dopamine detox is having goals and habits to fill in the time that was once occupied by social media, substances, and unhealthy tendencies. If you decide to dopamine detox cold turkey without a plan of what you're going to spend your time with, you'll go crazy. I try reading more, learning things I've always wanted to learn but never actual got around to, and exercising. Doing this is so satisfying in the healthiest way, and you can feel that you're doing better internally!

this video actually set my mood high and now I feel so motivated to strive for a better life, for a better me. I won't be consummed by socials, controlled by junk food and feeling like shit after I accomplished nothing all day. I will be productive and live at 100%. I hope everyone sees this and convert to a healthy BALANCE, meaning YES we can use socials, watch netflix, drink or eat good stuff but at the end of the day you have to say 'okay, I treated MYSELF well. I VALUED my time, I VALUED the people around me' .

Currently on my discipline phase where I slowly removing bad habits such as bringing phone while taking a dump, scrolling to my phone while eating, and scrolling through to social media after heading to bed. It was hard to kill an old habit but I can certainly do it with an intention to change especially I am on the verge of jealousy towards my peers’ career. I will be turning turning 25 this year yet I feel like I didn’t achieve anything. But I do have a goal to continuously working on improving and to become financial literate in the future so I have been working so hard to get back also to minimalism as I am working on my habits. Thank you so much for this additional knowledge and tips. 😊

I regained control for nearly 2 years now. And most of this video is on point. I got help from a addiction counselor, because I failed so often by doing it myself. Since then my life improved sooo much. I got tears in my eyes watching this video and was so happy, that I started my journey.

Honestly this is probably the best self help video I’ve watched in a really long time. Genuine advice thanks for sharing this with us.

I was about to study and came across this video which made me realize that all humans go through feeling stuck in life being willing to change to better and yourself is in your hands why not? Great Video! Many Blessings to you 🙏🏿🙌🏿

1:40 CAN change your life 1:50 CUTTING from the dopamine problems 3:40 TAKE BACK CONTROL 3:45 REDUCE/ELIMINATE consumables ,drinks 4:30 STAY DRY FOR THE DURATION OF THE DETOX 4:35 thrill seeking behaviours 4:40 variable rewardsself improvement->self discovery very big analysis 9:42 can we devote 10 minutes of the day to change your life?=self reflection 9:58 exercise increases bloodflow and dopamine into the body (and is a godly thing to do for everything in life) 10:25 connect to people 11:33 it releases dopamine and other chemicals 11:46 inspire each other 13:07 what are the things we value 14:30 get into the habit of having intentional thought into things in your life

"Save to watch later"

I personally wanted to thank you for making the video such a safe place to think and reflect on the stuff that we go through. Also the fact that you set realistic goals and did not romencitized the situation is soo good. This is the first advice that made me really want to do this. I hope I can achive it.

Thanks for the wake up call. I've known for a while that I needed this, but just procrastinated to the next day, and then the next month, next year, etc... My current addiction is youtube itself. Sometimes I cant watch a full movie, but spend 6h a day on videos on youtube. So I am deleting youtube now, 1 month from now, I get back here and tell you the results. Thank you

I’ve recently lost control again and realized this cycle keep’s continuing. I always go on a dopamine detox but not in a healthy or super intentional way, usually as a last ditch SOS because I’ve lost myself. This video educated me on what I’ve been trying to do and how to use it intentionally and before things get so bad.

I'm seeing this and tomorrow is my last exam in the semester, i pretty much fucked up in all of my exams and I'm pretty sure I failed some of them , I did study but not as much as I should, I spent days in my phone scrolling and wasting my time , I lost most of my healthy habits and gained a lot of bad habits, I put myself in such a messy environment and I had to face a lot of stress and anxiety bc of what I did , I promised myself that I will never put me in this position again, I'm going to work hard on myself and change my life for the good , It may not be easy but it is possible

I regret wasting my 2 & half month holidays in tech and social media , but now I’m starting this so I could really give a little meaning and purpose for my dream life ahead and be more productive for my rest of the years of my studies. Cajun koi academy is really helping me a lot .Thank you very much ^^

Hello! I've been on an intentional path the past few weeks to reduce my dependence on these instant forms of gratification. Your video met me soon after my decision to block my last time-waster apps. Unfortunately, I still find myself sinking an hour or two (or three) into youtube in the evenings, some vices hold a strong grip. I have managed to gear my viewing to more educational topics and I think this video has given me the encouragement to attempt a 7 day detox. I will set my purpose and try to adhere to your guidelines the best I can! Leaving this comment as accountability 🎀💜

me wasting my life by watching videos on how to stop wasting my life.

Everything you despise about yourself is actually a caring and protective part of you, even the self-harming part, which uses the physical pain as a buffer against the more excruciating emotional pain it perceives. If you took the time to listen to this part of you and love it back, it could become your greatest asset!

I almost failed my Class and it was an alarm clock to better my life. But i hit the snooze button. This year i got through with a 1.5ish avrage (1 is best, 6 is worst) but it was because i was sent to a lower school level (different reasons, not because i failed). Next year decides if i get to go to university or if i fail at every goal in my life. I will use this video wisely in exactly 2 months

This one time I took a month detox and started reading more and focusing more, then I was back on socials mindlessly scrolling. This video just reminded me it's time to get back on it and slowly reduce the time I spend wasting time cause the amount of time I spend in front of my phone is ridiculous. Thanks for the video!

Respect, man. I think you're the only KZfaqr I've seen so far that actually acknowledges that a KZfaqr is telling me to stop watching KZfaq! Idk but maybe that will actually help me to get off! Thanks for the video, man

As an alcohol and addiction recovery coach, this is so great to see. Thank you for making this video!

I’ve been binging on videos on how to detox from dopamine. Thanks for the dopamine rush!

The only issue I have with this protocol is the end goal: that dopamine detox will make you more productive. We need to be breaking our societal expectation to achieve rather than come up with fancy protocols that make us better and more efficient. We should dopamine detox in order to be satisfied and happy with who we are without needing to do anything more. That’s how we end depression and achieve mental health and clarity; THAT should be the goal of the detox. Great video overall, I’ll definitely be doing this.

I was so relieved when you didn't play into the trend of dopamine detox and actually explained it for us. This time, I will actually do it. Not sure for how long yet, but more than a week. Thank you guys.

The motivates me to start a Detox tomorrow ☺️☺️ , I can't wait!! I have reached my limit getting distracted over and over again especially as a Kitsune and messing up my study plans. Will see you in a week , wish me luck !! Good luck to anyone else starting too !

I'm in for this. I'll make sure to update my progress here on July 8. I'm planning on a 30 day detox.

I don't know how can I thank you, I was having addiction of excessive dopamine from a long time but wasn't knowing about it, I am trying self improvement since last year but still struggling, Your way of telling and protocol is generating a new hope inside me to be my best, Thanks brother, I am starting this healthy way of living today itself :)

I like studying because after every 3hrs, i reward myself with 1hr of gaming. And it actually boosted my grades quite a lot

0:04 l'm totally looking like this while watching this video 😂

This video was so good that I almost panned away 5 times (as I usually do because I'm easily distractable) but stayed for the entire video

I will begin this change and come back in 30 days 💪🏻

An aspiring teacher here! My phone crashed yesterday night and didn't light up at all. Therefore I was forced to spend today without it, which was an insane experience. At first, I felt anxious because I thought I would miss out on essential things in the group chats I was a part of, but going about my day, I felt a sense of relief towards the end. I realized how attached I was to my phone and how instant gratification kept ruining every single attempt I had of getting my life together. After I watched the video, I feel inspired to reboot my brain and start from scratch. Thank you!(*adds to sub list*)

This is the video I didn’t even know I needed. I’m a final year med student and this is the year that I need to be more serious than ever but I am so unmotivated to do anything. I am going to start this detox next week Sunday because I need to take control.

I’m tired, I feel unmotivated in every single aspect in life and have bad habits, tonight I make the preparations and start the 7 day protocol tomorrow, I’ll come back to share how it go ✌️thanks for the guide

After watching the video, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I share the same opinions as you. I believe that self-discovery and self-reflection are essential for personal growth and development. I am proud to say that I am committed to being a self-improver and will continue to learn through action. I look forward to staying connected with you. Today marks the beginning of my dopamine detox journey.

Aside from the main ones, I have a slight addiction to daydreaming. As someone who once pursued animation, imagining visuals and stories has it's merit. But I realize sometimes it's too much. I find myself coming out of a long daydream thinking, "I've seen this a million times" and yet I want to go back. It's a little bit of escapism too. I've tried to detox from it before but I always end up buckling a few days later. So I want to try this protocol but daydreaming will be my challenge. I figured making it deliberate and maybe timing it for 20 minutes might help. Wish me luck~

This is epic, what I love is that you provided a detailed framework of what worked for you, and that is really insightful and encouraging for us to actually try it for ourselves. Thanks for this, Mike and Matty!

I think this video is excellent. In my case I need social media to communicate with family, like messenger and WhatsApp but other than that I think it’s gonna be a great turn. I am not online scrolling. I just look for interesting stuff just because I enjoy it. I recently quit watching corn full stop. My head has been clearer. The exercise and reflection part of your video is my favorite part of it. That’s something I want to be more consistent about. I try to keep my thoughts down on paper as much as I can throughout the day. Now this is gonna motivate me even more. Thank you for making this video!

Dopamine detox is a real game changer, once you get the hang of it. Everyone who is trying: Keep going, you got this 💪🏻

This is a very good video😊 [My experience] The last few years I spent LOTS of time on the phone. At first I'd spend hours watching anime but at one point I swapped that by reading manhwa. I even prioritised that over whatever I had to do. During lockdowns the work would pile up and I'd do it at the very end (evening of the dead-line). I once even did 30 maths homeworks in one day and night because the teacher said she wanted to see my maths homework book...but I didn't learn from that experience. When the final exams were nearing I'd still spend loads of time on the phone instead of learning. That would go on until the day before the exam everytime. When it was time for the results I didn't want to check the mail including my results. Turns out I passed all of those subjects (German, English and maths (maths was a rather close call)). If I had actually failed I wouldn't have been deserving of being upset or anything since it would have been my fault. I was finished with school before summer but I still had something to complete for school like 2 weeks ago. I extended the time in order to complete and then present my pre-scientific paper. That was while all my classmates had already finished school completely and started going to university, going abroad, etc. Note, that the reason why I wasn't finished was because I procrastinated the whole time by spending my time on the phone instead. [What has changed] So, now since the last couple of weeks I have focused on decreasing my phone usage. I went from 5-8 hours a day to 1-2 and I am trying to switch bad with good habits such as going to bed early/waking up early, drinking more water and so on. Regarding social media, I am lucky that that would only be YT (I once had Instagram but deleted that a year ago since I never went on that platform anyway). I have also wasted so much time here by scrolling through those damned shorts. I deleted them from my homepage for good and watch longer videos instead (which let's me control the content I consume while also restoring my attention span a little). About the other points mentioned in the video, I don't smoke, drink or take drugs. This is why I think the 'springboard' is not too high and I can change my lifestyle easier. My biggest problem is 'only' procrastination. Now I wish to adopt and train those good habits such as productivity/focusing, self-discipline, cut down on the sugar consumption, consistent exercising, reading non-fiction books and other goals I have set up. For a decrease in phone usage I use a notebook instead of the notes app for writing down thoughts. Also, so that I am in more 'peace' I have turned off all the notifications (I am 'guilty' of reading the message without going into the app but then having it clutter my mind along other things). This way I am at peace. And I generally want to be at peace by avoiding hectic stuff and do things with intent.

Dude, this is exactly what I needed to see. Rencelty I've been feeling "out of control" and kept consuming content on Instagram, TikTok, even p*rn...I started to do exercise yesterday and keep studying (trying to focus to achieve my goals). Today I start the detox process for 7 days (already deleted the apps and blocked some sites). See you on the next saturday boys!

Most Things I learned in the past ten years to live a happy, productive life are summarized very well illustrated in this video. Everyone on detox: keep through, it pays off so much. Life will feel totally different once you past through the valley of re-adaption.

That is a very nice summary of what I am trying to do right now I think. I think I started my dopamine detox 11 Days ago. Let me tell you how I started it. I wanted to achieve a goal which is to be good at jumping ropes. I decided to start a hundred day journey of jumping ropes. So I made a plan of each day what I want to practice. I decided also that I have to document every day by filming myself and reviewing it. Last year I started journaling. This helped me a ton to reflect on how things are going and what I could improve in my everyday life. I had the inner urge to do something out of my life because I am 25 years old and I haven't felt that I achieved anything. Since I was a former gamer I decided to have another view on my life. At the start of this year (2023) I no longer treated my life as a real life but as a game. A game that I can only play once where every single decision is crucial to the outcome of the game. Every decision that I make in this game leads to the person that I am playing, which is myself. So in order to level up the character that I am playing, I need to decide what is best for me and I have to recognize things that I automatically did by habit that I don't want to do and eliminate these habits. This decision lead me to regaining control of myself and decisions so that I can build habits that I want to build and get rid off the old bad habits. So for me the most important points to progress are: - Reason: pick one or more reasons that are strong enough to make you want to change your life - Be aware: You have to recognize it when you do things by habit. For example I had the automatic response to look on my phone whenever a notification pops up. I am still not recognizing it enough but I eliminated this habit by muting my phone. - Self reflection: Reminding yourself why you want to change your life. Put it in notes, set an alarm with a note or just do journaling. Assess in that journal how your day was and how it can be improved. I am only 11 days in but I think that I might be able to do this 100 day journey. And you can do it too. Let's do it together :) P. S. : Thank you for the video, it was the perfect timing!

I am watching this with my eyes paining and drying out. I literally wasted my 15 days of study due to this dopamine addiction. I promise bro I would definitely do this dopamine detox and gain control of my life again💪🔥🔥

This is amazing!! I am not a student, but a full time entrepreneur. I watched your channels sleep and wake up earlier videos and now this one. I can tell I have a few small habits that are not adding to my greater fulfillment. For me... I don't think I need a full detox but to add in more intentionality to my use of these things. Esp because so much of my job is on social media... I just got a new phone and I think I will add timers for my apps, and start waking up earlier and getting straight to the gym. With some other tweaks I think this can add more value and momentum to my life. Thank you!

You have given me the push I was looking for. I realise often that I waste hours scrolling without any value ... and it annoys me that I lose myself in social media. I'll try the tech detox next week with the aim to reduce my social media activity to 1 hr at a certain time of the day. I have so many books I want to read 😁

I watched this video while scrolling through recommended videos and simultaneously reading the comments... That just goes to show how bad my attention span is. I've tried doing a dopamine detox several times in the past two years but after three weeks or so I end up getting addicted to social media again. I'm going to follow your advice and see how it works out this time because I desperately need to get back in touch with reality. I'm starting tomorrow. I'm going to come back here in a month and write about how it went. Let's see if by then I'm able to open a video on youtube without first going through all of my youtube recommendations!

All this stuff about dopamine detoxes, dopamenus, and other ADHD tactics feels like it's come too late for this semester, but I think I'm going to start planning this over the summer; I find myself wasting my free time even as I know there's other stuff I want to try: Japanese, Dutch, 3D modelling, programming in Rust, writing, animation, etc. Plus, if I don't fix my problems this summer, it won't be any easier fixing them during the next year of college. I'm keeping an eye on this video

I just wrote everything on a big board and going to do it and stare at it for next 7 days. Feeling completely exhausted so lm very happy to see that it actually helps. Huge hope and relief 🥳Thanks!❤

As someone with BPD and ADHD this was very affirming for a lot of the work I had to do to find my own balance

I’m actually on the detox and it’s working well, but don’t get me wrong I’ve had a couple of withdrawals but I’m going for an entire year without socials! So I’m cutting off all contacts, and I’m also going to the gym, to get my mind in place. I’ve been hearing so many good things about meditation as well!

I'm gonna try doing 7 days. I have been trying to go 24 hours for every other day but it doesn't work like I want it to. My goal is not to free up more time or get more work done, I already do all that, but it's the feeling I get when I'm not overstimulated every single day. One day 2 weeks ago I did a spontaneous detox for only half a day but it worked so well. What I enjoy the most is how I perceived the world. I was like a child again, meaning that I noticed so much more around me and got excited about simple stuff. I can't really describe it, but it's the best feeling. That's why I'm gonna do it 💪🏼

I needed a reminder of a few things here. Top video. Will be the last you tube video I watch for a while... like you say, kind of ironic.

Ive been studying for my board exam for 6 months. Now a month is left, I'm slacking off maybe because of burn out and I tend to binge watch, eat whatever I want, sleep all day. Thanks for this wake up call!

Honestly I've been going through this for a while now and I keep noticing how fast I can rationalize neglecting my studies for the sake of youtube or tumblr or texting my friends for hours on end. This feels like a wake up call to take action. I've done this before but I did it haphazardly and stopped it really quickly, I'm gonna do this right this time. I want future me to be proud

Thanks so much, this was a very digestable way to get encouraged to do a detox. And I can tell you it's sorely needed. I'm starting next month, thanks again! 👍🏾

Hey man, thx for this video. I’m currently finishing high school and I’m about to start university, I want to study philosophy. I was throwing away this last month of school (in Italy we end in June) wanting to change and five deeper in philosophy, understanding more about this intriguing subjet. So I’ll try follow this video for a week to help me get out of this unhappy situation that I’m in and my gf will try to check on me so that I won’t be alone doing it. It will be hard but I hope it will be worth it, I’ll let you know how it goes as regularly as I can. Thanks again, love: Francesco

Starting grad school in the fall. I'm lucky these bad habits haven't prevented me from making it this far. Been making great changes these last few months during my gap year. Awesome video, this should help me take this all the way. Crazy how much better I've been mentally and physically since applying some of these principles.

I actually needed this, I was procrastinating, and this helped me, just like you always do!

Thanks for your protocol. I start detox today. Wish mi luck.

I’ve spent SO much time lately just scrolling and scrolling, and I’m tired of it. I see these bad habits leaking into my kids’ minds too. I’m gonna start doing this, gonna start next week. This week I’m going to be doing the planning and cutting phase. I’m literally gonna go get an alarm clock so I can leave my phone in the kitchen at night hahaha. I’m tired of self medicating with a screen, I can feel myself having signs of digital dementia and I HATE it. Thank you for this! It’s a really good, thorough video, and it’s realistic too. Most screen detox videos are insistent that you cut it all out forever and drink green juice and do yoga for the rest of your life, but that’s just not realistic anymore. We have to find a healthy balance, and sometimes that means detoxing it first!

I have been trying to do this for so long, but I always came up short and fell into the snare of "unhealthy" dopamine. Thank you so much for making this video. I really appreciate it

What helped me the most was going into settings, turning on a black and white only display. The colors also suck you into your phone and without colors using your phone isn't as fun. Stay strong, we're all in this together!

Day 1 as well thanks for this video i have exams coming up and have totally flopped this year as i can’t concentrate hope this works

One of THE BEST youtube content, by far!

Sleep is also very important! I’m still on my journey but getting enough sleep and sunlight has made it even more easy for me to do😊

This video helped me remember my last detox about two years ago. Recently i was literally lost and you helped me know the cause and remember the benefit of detox. I’m going to start right now

I recently lost my job after more than 10 years and I’m having trouble getting up and going back out there. I think this is exactly what I need to start things up again. Thanks for the video.

Great video- as a religious Jew we have a built in tech detox every week from Fri eve to Sat evening as we observe sabbath and it forces us to sit together as a family, focus on the important things in life

As a millennial, I was the first generation told it's acceptable to waste your life online. We were systematically encouraged to do it, at the expense of our health, relationships, and souls. I'm so happy to see the younger generation waking up.

i was actually trying to challenge myself not living anymore in distractions and etc but i realised that it was way too hard to actually follow it. Now i got to know few more things about the dopamine detox, in order to understand fully it and use it wisely. Thank you so much !!!!

Its 16 Sept, 2023. Today I will begin with the dopamine detox. I finally choose to regain control over myself and not let instant gratification control me. Will be back here in a month to check this comment and write the experience.

i've struggled all my life with the fact that i escape from all my decisions, my own likes and tastes and sometimes responsabilities (mostly the ones that i take myself or i should) and i tend to think that everything i do by myself is utterly wrong or in the end is worthless as surreal and ridiculous as i know it looks. But i know that all my tendencies like the continuous dopamine overstimulous are just a way to evade or escape from getting the attention and efforts focused on my own needs and problems. I've done a detox previously a few times without noticing in episodes of my life and it felt better by moments. This time at least for once i will try to do it consciously cuz i really feel i need that "better" right now. Thanks and stay good.

This will work for most people, but if you have adhd, you really need to have a planned no pressure all desire day,it's just a moment of apresiation to feel the dopamine you have gotten and deserve, you won't get in a while and that is ok, so you can crave more , and feel motivated to do well the next week.(dopamine is not the problem for us, it is the lack of it)

I feel attacked but I needed the wake up call ngl🥲

Great message. If everyone did this we would have a much healthier world. Hope this catches on

I have done a dopamine detox and I can only tell you how cruel it felt to me for the first two days. I was constantly fidgeting, I was constantly pouring out my feelings in my journal, and I just felt so irritated at everything. I shed tears even. I’m not going to sugarcoat it if any one if you guys are going to try it. Please find someone to talk to, I talked with my sister a lot during my dopamine detox and it helped a bunch. Before any of you assume I am doing fine now after experiencing it, I’m not. I fell back into habits because I didn’t know how to properly reintroduce the addictive habits in order to lessen their hold on me forever after. That’s why I am here, watching this video. It’s okay if it doesn’t work out the first time for you. When it does work out for you whether it be after the first try or second, be proud of your achievement.

That's really useful! I've tried to do dopamine detox before, but I failed hard and didn't really understand how to do it from the video I've watched. But this is really clear and I now know everything I need, will start doing it right today!

The editing is just top tier!

Man I need this. I’ve been stuck in an addictive dopamine loop for years and it’s gotten worse. I feel like I’m not reaching anywhere near my potential and it’s like my attention span has been destroyed. I need to change my life for the better

Thank you for the video brother! Really appreciated blue background and yellow text. Reminds me about WD-40, good summer, riding and fixing my bike, feels like happiness :3

starting this tmrw! will come back after 7 days to update abt progress

I did start the dopamine detox! Did it ... for a day... and it felt amazing! Tbh! (Immediately fell back into the loop... impulsively)... will do it for a week now! And... the protocol really makes it all so clear!! Thankyou for making this video! Much love!

I'm hopping on to the detox. I'll be back to give feedback on the 27th of August :)

This really motivated me to work on my exams rather than be on my phone for over 6+ hours a day, so I’m going to start this detox from today right now, so wish me luck

What a great video. Just this week I had one day where I just scrolled the whole day on social media or watched stupid shows... Felt awful but I still did it. I will start a 7 day detox tomorrow because the time wasting really is insane. No pain no gain.

Thank you for making this video. I am currently struggling on how to manage my time because I keep wasting it on unproductive things. This is like a wake up call for me to realign things in my life and prioritize those that will help me achieve the identify that I wanted 💙 God Bless and more videos like this 💙

I watch this video first on the 15 may 2024 and I took some notes and then started procrastinating and then again started taking notes on the 23 may 2024. Then started procrastinating again today I have completed the full video while taking notes. And I Usama will be starting my dopamine detox on the 27 May 2024 Monday. I have tried doing dopamine detox twice before but have failed in a couple of days. Hopefully with all the guidelines of Mr Cajun Koi I shall succeed, will try my best Mr Cajun, Appreciate the effort and sincerity you put in making this video. It shall help alot of people in the future.

*To retain control it has to be done with intention*! 1. Preparation - rules & structure A. Purpose of regaining focus - visualizing the negative future/outcome - why is it necessary to change? B. Cutting (4 subcat’s -binge tech - browser blockers/extensions, -unhealthy sex/swipes *opportunity can be worse than act* -substances, way easier to get the quick pleasure than feel emotions -thrill-seeking *skydiving, gambling, shopping* C. How long - at least __ days in full detox mode - overstimulation - phone-speaker analogy 2. Execution - emotions, Reaching for the phone - Boredom - dopamine around but receptors haven’t reset yet… Jog brain that healthy dopamine alternatives work - 3 daily practices A self reflection - 10 mins SR meditation, journaling, SR is the vehicle to self discovery and building block to improvement B 30 min workout move your body - all the million benefits - steady dopamine release after workout - Sexy!!! C connect - whoever (maybe share about your detox!) - parents, sibling, friend 3. Restoration - become “anti-fragile” Reintroduce, carefully -intentionality, build the life you want Goal isn’t to delete everything but build a healthy relationship, who controls who if you have to cut yourself off completely? Does this help me be the person I want to be? -social media - emphasizing hobby communities, with limits to ensure maximal value What I got from about 3 times through!! Best of luck everyone!

Thank you so much for the nudge, this is just what I needed!!! :)

I'm in the middle of my review for my board exam and I think this is the best advice I heard so far. Thanks!
