How to Stop Wasting your Life │ Full Dopamine Detox Protocol

Dopamine Detox changed my life, but not in the way you'd think. A couple months ago, I was feeling unmotivated, burned out, and stuck. The dopamine-fast trend was brought to my attention, and I was eager to learn how to reset my mind. But when I looked into it, I realized that many people are thinking about dopamine detox all wrong. There is a lot of misinformation about dopamine. So in this video, I want to share my full protocol, that's given me mental clarity and focus.

🙏 Thanks for watching!

"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✨

YouTube 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 YouTube 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.

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 YouTube (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.

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.

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 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 ❤️

[antonslarsson]

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! 👍🏾

[brunolebrun]

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 🙏🏿🙌🏿

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.

[anacastro]

You did such an amazing job with this video, usually watching some of the videos it becomes boring and it’s like they’re giving you orders but you’re laying everything out and you’re giving us visuals and mental images to reflect back on her own life and you did so good like amazingly good. I just know that God has put a Work in you because when you were talking about restoration, I immediately thought of him and I was like wow this is exactly what I needed.
I just wanna say thank you and my future me is gonna say thank you forever. lol

[Eryinneistyping]

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' .

[abbiefloriellealih]

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. 😊

[AVRYBYLT]

Thank you so so much for this video cajun. Literally don’t even know the lives you’re impacting by this sobering information; especially mine. Thank you 🫡❤️🤞🏽!

[Tikile]

Found this video exactly at the right time! Thank you for the jumpstart and hopefully these next 7 days are a good reset!

[bs_scafe]

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

[Chronos]

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.
