How To Reset Your Mind: Dopamine Detox 

Do you struggle with any dopamine addictions? Share below!

His intro literally described every aspect of my existence

Don't seek pleasure. Seek purpose and meaning.

cold showers + workouts are complementary tools that enhance even better the mind resetting process.

Suffering from anxiety disorder for a couple of years now. Realized that fear has gotten me addicted to self isolation, spending too much time on social media watching people go through their successful lives while i feel miserable about my own life and then wondering why my life got stuck. that's it. i'm taking back control of my life. thanks so much for your videos and keep inspiring!

Awesome video! Also one key factor that I have noticed about dopamine triggers: it's better to cut out as much as you can, becasue often times they are heavily related. If you give in to one, the others might follow. E.g. you go out for drinking-clubbing binge and and after that you crave a large fatty meal and the day after you feel letargic and unmotivated. And so it goes.

This will be the last video I watch for the 2 coming days. I hope I can make it 2 days

This video is as good as reading a whole book. Crisp and clear and thanks for making this video. Really appreciate it

I'm looking forward to becoming the best version of myself. Thank you for this gem of a video.

Cold showers / workouts / meditation / yoga / small task achivements all of it have worked for me, and I'm still a work in progress.

I’ve been on a dopamine detox for 6 days now and it’s made me realize so much. Those first few days I had a new found focus and productivity but around day 4/5 I noticed these intense emotions of loneliness and feeling disconnected from everything. As you mentioned it really did reveal how we as human use dopamine to hide/avoid certain emotions. Now focused on working through those to really unleash my creativity. I felt my addiction to dopamine was stifling it. Now I will say I’ve found myself spending way more time on RU-vid so it may need to be the next one to go :(

Anxiety and panic attacks started showing up after long periods of abstinence, have to deal with them, it’s tough. But have to keep on going.

This opened my eyes to addictions I didn't know I had. Thank you for the tools to deal with them.

I have to say: I really love this guy. I almost feel like crying because I feel thankfull that he is sharing and he has very nice energy :)

Scary how many things in this video are relatable, here’s to a well needed detox 🙌🏽

I’ve one hell of an addictive personality I’ve only just realised today that It’s a lack of dopamine causing my fatigue and not a vitamin deficiency 😂😳🤔😬

Amazing explanation. to be shared, more people need to know this

Meditation and mindfulness 🙏 thank you project life mastery

Wish I knew it during my school days..... Nevertheless. Starting my Detoxification from today.

Totally gonna go on a dopamine detox from pornography. Gonna talk with my girl friend and show her this video.

This is really good content! Most people watching this is on a journey on seeking self improvement and have taken the first steps to fully understand some destructive behavior in their suroundings.

With everything going on right now this is real important.. I'm a software developer and right now I'm just in quarantine with out a job and find myself watching TV all day and looking at videos in Instagram when I know I should be doing something more productive. Definitely going to start working on removing stuff from my life .. maybe start with limiting my hours i spend in bed and the hours I watch tv

I was in the Navy for 22 years and ride a Harley. I used to call myself an adrenaline junkie because I was on the Security Alert Force and loved it. Now that I'm retired and older, I enjoy being lazy.

Divine Timing Stephan. Thank you for this video. I just finished the book DIGITAL MINIMALISM. My mind has been opened to the realities of screen addiction. So far I have removed social media from my phone. That alone has freed up more time in the last few days than I've had all year. What an eye-opener! Thanks again for the great content, as always. ~Isabel.

I have struggled with addiction since a very young age and I recognize my attempts to replace those more extreme forms of dopamine activators with any other thing that will feed my need for dopamine. I'm still hooked on the dope! I am aware of this and definitely prayer and meditation, staying present and working with others are the only way out. I'm not meant to always feel good. Pain is growth and I'm ready to master this flesh vessel! So bring on the detox!

I realized this when I was 17 but I thought I was the only one. Great content!

Thank you for this explanation. What really stuck with me was the "here and now", I find myself grabbing my phone out of boredom way too often instead of appreciating my surroundings.

This makes so much sense, I’m going to try and part ways with a few bad habits

I have a annoying voice in my head that keeps telling me what to do 😫

For the last 6-7 months, I was suffering from masturbating addiction. I want to get out of that masturbation trap. I don't know what to do, I am continuously going through the cycle again and again...............

Trying to deal with this now. I thought Iwas making progress with reducing distractions and becoming more productive but I fell off of the wagon in a big way, these last few days, especially today.

Totally relate to this. Such a large part of my life is controlled by this. Thank you so much for your content, you've inspired me to change and grow

I appreciate your positivity. I see something positive from you everyday. Thank you for the tips I will use these.

For the most part, I’ve been consistent with practicing mantra meditation consistently, and exercising consistently. Still working on eliminating some of the bad habits that you mentioned. Will definitely do some detoxing 👍🏾

The most helpful video on RU-vid !! So relative with my problems . today I got all the answeres. Thank u so mch

Thank you so much. The thing is, I know all of this. It's just that I don't stick to it. I know it's easier said than done, but I should try more.

Thanks for helping me out from this depression 😞😞😞😞

I took myself off Facebook yesterday because I felt there were too many voices in my head. Then I came across this video. The universe is definitely telling me something and it's starting to make sense.

Thanks so much for the awesome video Stefan 🔥 This will definitely help me improve my Online Business and Life!! Keep it up! 💯💯🙌

Yooo... wtf??? What kind of video this? This shit can change somebody's whole life!!! You need to sell it.

Went through anxiety disorder last year and totally relate to what you are saying. It took 6 months just to get out of this disorder constantly feeling that I was going to die with a hearth rate over 200.

Thank you Stephen. Suffered from this problem a lot. I will detox from today

My dopamine is by phone 📱 addiction food addiction

Great video Stefan as always! Another piece of advice that helped me that might help others is simply asking yourself if this negative release is benefiting me or destroying me long term. Write down the pros and cons in a journal and add them up to get your answer. Repetition everyday will equal out to a better you. Stay strong!

Honestly, this was amazing. Everything was easy to understand and I'm going to research more now thank you

Had to pause the video many times due to the reflections and deep insights it gave me. Very well done

I have put watching this video off for like a month, keeping the tab in my browser. Now I have finally opened and watched the video. I've made a mind map to identify my unproductive or destructive Dopamine addictions and I am now making a Dopamine Detox Calendar to keep tabs on how well I am staying away from my vices! Thanks a lot for this video, man!

I think im now addicted to dopamine detox videos though

Thank you so much, I really appreciate each of your videos and all of your work, I'm inspired to help more people just by following your work, THANK YOU AGAIN

I have to stop that pornography thing.

Hit the nail on the head with this video. I believe it’s very important to know the science behind how your body reacts to the outside world. Allows one to better protect themselves against its hidden dangers.

I know someone who struggles for porno addiction. it feels very bad

I have to stop smoking.

For some stupid and strange reason, this one video helped me more than watching hours of other motivational videos. Thanks man!! 😎

This is fascinating, I enjoyed his delivery -very engaging, simple truths delivered well

U mentioned all my daily dopamine addictions one by one. From checking out social media, sales, gaming and worst of them all pornography. I I'm gonna use this comment as a launch of my dopamine detox. The first I'm gonna after this video is go on a 7 day detox on my phone. Thanks for the value!

Listening to how clear and straight to the point of how he explains it really makes me understand and take it in. I have a lot of addictions and it's sad to live this way. I wanna b happy and stretch in the moments out because life is too short...

Pleasure always comes with pain...

I've seen a couple of videos on Dopamine Detox but this one really had all of the information and eye-openers I really needed. Thank you for this. Also, gave you the Dopamine Hit with a thumbs up. 😂

I'm commenting here to hold myself accountable. Please also comment to hold yourselves accountable because that's the only thing I can think of that has a powerful impact. To whoever reads this, I hope you detox and get rid of dopamine addiction.

Really important video, can't understand why so many dislikes..

Very informative! I had no idea. I learned a lot from your video

This really helped me realize. I got some issues to work out.

Thank you so much for creating this video. Really appreciate the efforts. :) Thank you :)

Any indian here in the comment house

Yes I agree ! Eat more red meat along with a large variety of processed foods and you will be on the road to great health !

Thanks for making this video. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Very informative. God bless

I had a massive problem with Video games. So huge - that i was spending every spare minute i had playing something. I even called sick from work on multiple occasions - just to stay home and play games. Recently i deleted every game from my computer and decided to focus more on a side hustle of web design and copywriting. But there is one more problem. Social media , youtube , porn , and so many other forms of instant rewards. Dont get me wrong - when i start my day well - and start doing something related to webdesign or copywriting - i have a pretty ok day. I feel productive and happy at the end of it. But if for some reason i decide to go on youtube first thing in the morning - bang... The entire day goes by - just like that. And its not like i hate doing the work - i enjoy doing my side hustle - but when i start "binge - consuming"i cant seem to stop. WTF is wrong with me - and how the hell can i keep myself on track????????

This video should show in every school for kids. Good job.

Great video! Amazing perspective on the importance of the understanding of dopamine nowadays.

One of the best videos that i watched on youtube. Excellent!!

Porn and marijuana are two huge vices for me. I stopped smoking marijuana close to a month ago. I just started working on the porn yesterday.

Just what I needed to hear. Great lesson! See you in 30 days RU-vid ☺️

Thank you for parting apart and making a crystal clear way through my cloudy mind. Very informative. 👌

Wow, you actually have no idea how life changing this is! For my whole life I didn’t realize that I was chasing Dopamine hits! This video should have millions of views ! Appreciating life in the moment is sooooo essential. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. It's very helpful. More power and Gold bless!

start with ditching coffee :)

Great video. 👏🏻

on point. nicely done :) thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom for those ready to wake up to authentic well being and happiness.

Described my life tbh. Time to go delete a bunch of apps!

I'm struggling with smoking cigarettes. I used to be a runner in high school and hated smoking. Lo and behold, I became one of them and having been smoking for the last 5 years. I want to quit and came up on this video and I think what you describe is what I feel. Thanks for your tips, will try to implement them right away.

17 and he described everything I’m going threw 😅😅

Amazing video, Stefan! My main thing at the moment is coffee... But I do believe that it also depends what you do in the dopamine stimulated state... For example, I often drink coffee and then do a meditative sauna session, and I'm finding it to be quite productive (maybe I'm just lying to myself).

I can relate to all this I was addicted to all them.. more videos on mental health please .

Just came across your channel from this video and honestly man everything is perfectly said. Thank you for helping me and probably a lot of people. Cant wait to check your other content out ❤

Thank you, I truly appreciate you 🙏🏽

I hate how I'm addicted I am to sugar. Before I started this job I used to have hot beverages without sugar now always with sugar. I hate it.

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm probably on Instagram too much

It was a great informative video, thanks for sharing it. I'll search more about dopamine detox, you changed someone's life.

Gambling addict here . I understand . Thank you for sharing .

Great video! Thanks

Thanks for sharing this Beautiful message. I just watched this video sitting on back patio, with light breeze, sounds of leaves and stars in the sky, took few moments to sync in with nature.

I can absolutely relate to this talk! My biggest struggle has been watching seduction videos on RU-vid. It had been years now since the age of 11, when first introduced. I find when I slow my life down, days have a much higher quality and temptations are at a distance. When I bite into my anticipations early AM, it's a down hill ripple effect. Would love to walk through some of these triggers with others.

Just saw this and needed it! Thank you for the video. Subbed

I absolutely love this!!! I’m going to challenge myself to 2 hours of social media use a day.

Thank you for making this great piece of content. Great job!

Thank you !! Great vid

here and now, complacency. your topic is very wonderful and interesting!

You really resemble a manchester united footballer named Luke Shaw.

Thanks buddy for the video! It's time for a change.
