I have utmost respect for the transparency shown by all here. Thanks for the information given. I know all of this but need reminding. I was an adrenaline junkie but my thyroid started to shut down. Now I rely on will power. Your videos are so helpful. I am currently battling spending.
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!
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.
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 TH-cam so it may need to be the next one to go :(
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
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.
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!
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 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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 😂😳🤔😬
Thank you! The here and now is all that we have, which reminds me of one of the most powerful self-development experiences of my life that I had recently at the Biocybernaut Institute. Check it out here - th-cam.com/video/XbcoL2L5FTg/w-d-xo.html
I had a break up over a month ago now and I admit that he was my addiction. Everyday we spent ALL our time together, we rarely spent time apart. It also felt so damn good that he was always chasing me and wanting to spend more and more time with me. I got so used to this addiction, this Iove, this routine with him that now that he's gone, my life has changed for the worst. Everyday for the past month, I have such strange dreams and it causes me to wake up with insane anxiety. Everyday I am so damn anxious, I feel so very ill, no matter what I do, the anxiety is torturing me. I haven't felt any sort of happiness and aliveness since he left. I need a new kind of dopamine to bring me back to life, to make me feel normal again.
Thank you for sharing your story, Becky. Im so sorry to hear about your breakup. Breakups can trigger withdrawal, just as you would feel after giving up a drug. In the beginning stages, the loss will feel heavy because you’re no longer getting your doses of dopamine and oxytocin (feel-good chemicals) from your partner. Get your feel-good chemicals from spending time with close friends and engage in a lot of self-care rituals. A dopamine detox would be great for you 🙏
First time I was able to concentrate throughout the 20 min video. To say that he is spot on about dopamine addicts is an understatement. Thankyou for wonderful ideas
My pleasure! If youre interested in learning more about how you can reset your mind, check out a recent video I published about a powerful self-development experience I had recently at the Biocybernaut Institute - th-cam.com/video/XbcoL2L5FTg/w-d-xo.html
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...
I have battled overeating my entire life. I had Bariatric surgery and lost 181lbs but gained 47lbs over the last 4 years. I realized recently that my brain wants dopamine all the time and food provides that. Exercise does not and l exercise 6 days a week. I was considering Amen Clinic but the cost is expensive. I just want to get rid of this dopamine brain before l gain everything back.
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 👍🏾
I have issues with procrastinating and hooked on video games. I don’t get anything done at home and my wife can’t help very much due to depression and anxiety. So, I develop issues in all aspects of life. Overwhelmed in life. Video definitely hits home
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!
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.
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!
We must learn to take our toxic thoughts captive. Journaling is an execellent way of doing this. Then we have to learn how to fix our thoughts. Mindset is everything!
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.
You're welcome, Cindy! As I expressed in the video, one of of the best ways to reset your mind is to cultivate “here and now” transmitters. This video explains how you can do that - th-cam.com/video/orP7Pc1qEEw/w-d-xo.html
I hear you. Doing a dopamine detox literally changed my life. Meditation was a powerful tool that helped me increase my dopamine levels naturally and reset my brain. What was the biggest change that you noticed in your life after doing a detox?

Food, sweets, attention from other people...
His intro literally described every aspect of my existence
same
I know right 🤣
I feel u
Who you tellin? If l could get rid of this dopamine brain it would resolve most of my problems.
Don't seek pleasure. Seek purpose and meaning.
Tell me about it with your actual experience in life, not just type in some fancy quotation.

Any updates?
cold showers + workouts are complementary tools that enhance even better the mind resetting process.
COLD SHOWERS ARE THE BEST!! IT REALLY WORKS!!
Cold shower in deed
Cold showers / workouts / meditation / yoga / small task achivements all of it have worked for me, and I'm still a work in progress.
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 :)
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.
This video is as good as reading a whole book. Crisp and clear and thanks for making this video. Really appreciate it
Totally! Every word of it

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

I learned a lot from your video
I'm so glad to hear it helped!
Thank you, I truly appreciate you 🙏🏽
Happy to help!
This will be the last video I watch for the 2 coming days. I hope I can make it 2 days
This video should show in every school for kids. Good job.

Pleasure always comes with pain...
Loved it. Extremely helpful!
I really like the idea of detoxing one day a week, it doesn't seem so difficult and it's a good challenge.
