Dopamine Detox: I did a 24-Hour Dopamine Fast and got 5 huge benefits YOU need BADLY (A True Story)

- "24-Hour Dopamine Fast" on Mr. Smart, where we explore five vital benefits of this transformative detox in our hyper-digital world.
In our digital age, we're constantly drawn to social media, Netflix, and video games. These distractions hijack our focus, and sugary snacks fill our boredom gaps.
It's all about dopamine - scrolling through Instagram, TH-cam, Facebook likes, or gaming triggers dopamine surges, creating addiction loops.
To break free, I embraced a 24-Hour Dopamine Fast:
No electronics
No reading
No sex or masturbation
No food
No talking
No music, podcasts, or stimulants
During this reset, I focused on writing, meditation, walks, deep thinking, visualization, and staying hydrated.
This experience brought incredible stillness and focus to my mind, rare in our overstimulated world. It clarified my business vision, boosted my energy, and reconnected me with authentic thoughts.
The fast revealed our time-wasting habits and highlighted the need to balance digital distractions with personal growth.
I encourage you to try it, even with modified rules. Share your experience in the comments.

It’s scary how well I am described in this. Definitely think I need to do this detox. And I will, cause what do I have to loose
Just take the first step and plan your Dopamine Detox. In today's digital world, we all need Dopamine Detox to a varying degree. What is your top most addiction? Social media or something else?
Truthfully it’s just distraction in general. The parts you talked about getting bored; can’t tell you how frequently I am with my kids then just start scrolling social media, or when I play online poker rather than study at work or workout like I said I was going too. Just using dopamine hits in an unfocused way in general. Need to become more disciplined and use dopamine to benefit me rather than distract.
Exactly, you need to practice a little Dopamine Detox. And the benefits will be there. You will become more focused and satisfied. Keep Mr. Smart updated about your experience. Best wishes!
God bless you.
Thanks very much for this ❤️
I appreciate your kind words, and I'm here to help anytime you have questions or need assistance. If there's anything specific you'd like to know or discuss, please feel free to ask. Have a wonderful day!
Hello mr smart I am school student so I cant keep myself away from studying or going to school or dont use youtube becoz I use it to see lectures. The things I can do is not watch other videos then studying,not eat junk food, go outside for walks.
I appreciate your dedication to your studies and your commitment to making positive changes. It's understandable that you need to use TH-cam for educational purposes and attend school. Focus on avoiding junk food and going for walks when you can - even small steps make a big difference! 📚🚶♂️💪

At this moment I learned about dopamine and dopamine detox, but I didn’t realize that I was doing dopamine detox. I successfully dopamine detox social media for a month during lockdowns because of pandemic. Thanks to this video because I know now what I’m doing. I’m gonna give it a try in a difficult to control which is watching porn
My friend! It has been a pleasure to know that our video has helped you. Stay tuned and share this video with people around you. Best Regards
I'm definitely doing this. Immediately.
Mr. Smart will be looking forward to listening the result of your Dopamine Detox.
@@JoinMrSmart I did the 24 hour dopamine detox yesterday. Wow, I experienced clarity, a quiet mind the hunger wasn't actually an issue but cravings were from time to time. Drinking water was pleasant though. One thing I noticed is that the brain is smart and it will still try to get it's dopamine other ways. For instance when looked in the mirror, I smiled really big, and just smiling was super enjoyable for some reason. Or when I brushed my teeth, I felt this strong sense of accomplishment. It was like my brain had become more sensitive to the things that actually deserve that natural given dopamine rather than the artificial high of social media, porn, junk food and music. There's an inner beauty to life that we're missing out on with all the external distractions. I even got more clear in my business plans. Thanks for this video. I'm definitely gonna do this detox again one day.
Truly remarkable!!! I am very, very happy that my video has helped you in making your life better. Live Long Smart Living!
I have been postponing this from months and I'm finally about to do it, I'll edit this comment a day or 2 later to show the results probably
Well, it was going good at start but minor mistakes were made, so I had to cancel it in the middle, but even with a few hours of dopamine detox I felt something different in my head, a feeling I had before I got introduced to all social media platforms and stuff, so I decided I'm going to do about half an hour or 1 hour of dopamine detox everyday which might be effective over a long time.
I shall wait for you to edit your come within a couple of days.
Regards
Mr Smart
@@JoinMrSmart hey, I wanted to know, you said 2 months break but it's been 4 months so... are you guys going to upload soon or?
Hi Mr smart! How often do u recommend to do dopamine detox, I was thinking about doin it smth like 1/2 times in a month. It'll be my 1st time tommorow and i feel like Im really overdosin social medias etc.
In my opinion, two times in a month is good frequency.
I’m staring this soon
That's great to hear! Wishing you the best on your dopamine detox journey. Remember to stay committed and embrace the process. You've got this!

Isn't this strangely exactly like the Sabbath should/used to be, a sabbath of the kind maybe only Orthodox Jews have nowdays, and also like a hardcore Islamic Ramadan, but of a kind that virtually no-one does. The Amish, and Christian monks in a hardcore old-school monastery, and meditation retreats of a Buddhist kind, all also spring to mind. It shows hormonal/psychological and behavioural benefits of things that the modern world laughed at and dismissed.
Indeed, the idea of a dopamine fast aligns with traditional practices like the Sabbath, and Ramadan, and the lifestyles of groups like the Amish and Christian monks. These practices emphasize reflection and mindfulness, and modern science is beginning to recognize their benefits in our fast-paced digital world.
My understanding is that exercise creates dopamine. I'm an avid bicyclist and prefer it to walking. If I did some light biking would that be fine or should I stick exclusively to walking?
Both biking and walking can contribute to dopamine production through exercise. You can choose either activity based on your preference, as both have potential benefits for your brain and overall well-being. Keep enjoying your bicycling, as it's a valid and enjoyable way to promote dopamine release and support your health!
So I did mushrooms right.. Haven't smoked in a year, it changed my life. For whatever reason after I did shrooms life has looked really different to me now. I gave it all up from multiple addictions, to living my best life.
Transformative! Keep embracing the positive changes on your journey.

I am very interested in doing this, but I have some questions :
1. I am not really busy with my work, but it does require me to keep contact with my phone since i might get msgs and notifications anytime, and I need to respond immediately. so it's pretty impossible for me to totally get rid of the phone for 24hrs, I wonder if it's okay if I only use my phone for work but not for entertainment, is it still detox?
2. I live with my family, me and my sibling share the same room, so it's too difficult for me to ignore them and not talking at all, so is it really important of no talking at all?
3. on about no reading, I wonder does it mean no working? can I study or work?
thank you so much.
During the dopamine detox, it's acceptable to use your phone solely for work and avoid entertainment-related activities. While striving to minimize unnecessary conversations, reducing external stimulation is the primary goal. Low-stimulation activities like studying or work that aren't entertainment-focused are permissible during the detox as long as high-dopamine activities are limited.
If you exercise, like a 30 minute intense hike for example, is that not allowed for a dopamine detox?
During a dopamine detox, engaging in 30-minute intense exercise, like a hike, is allowed as it promotes physical well-being and doesn't involve high dopamine activities. It can be a beneficial part of the detox process.
Bro i need to delete the social media apps in order to remove the addiction
Yes, we can start our Dopamine Detox in this way as well. Rather it can give a great start!
sleeping is allowed in the 24 hours detox? also when you say walking, am I allowed to go to a trail and explore nature or just regular walking? if accidentally I see someone and talk for a short time, like hey hello how are you, is that ok or it should be really strict no talking?
also at the moment I am experiencing some levels of depression, do you think this practice is still healthy or too much?
Absolutely! Sleeping is allowed during the 24-hour detox. You can explore nature on a trail during the "walking" phase. If you have a brief conversation with someone, that's fine - the key is reducing high-dopamine activities. Good luck on your dopamine detox journey!
It's October 1, Friday 10:33 pm here
I'll try dopamine detox tomorrow on oct 2, and then I'll post about it on oct 3
I really don't believe in myself and that it can benefit me, coz I'm such a dopamine addict that it has ruined so many of promises I made to myself and also it has ruined so much of my time .. but let me try it once.
Edit: it didn't work
Same
I understand that trying a dopamine detox can be challenging, and it's okay if it didn't work out this time. Remember, change takes time and persistence. Don't lose hope, and keep trying. Each attempt brings you closer to understanding yourself better and finding what works for you. Take small steps and be patient with yourself. You've got this!
I like this idea. But I don’t get how doing one day of dopamine fasting every 6 months will solve your problems. Shouldn’t you be doing it more consistently?
Consistency is key! While doing a dopamine fast for a day can provide a reset, incorporating regular, consistent habits to reduce high dopamine activities is crucial for long-term benefits and improved motivation. Consider incorporating more frequent, smaller dopamine detoxes into your routine for sustained results.
Oh ads in between video distract us too.
Sorry for any inconvenience. We'll work on improving the ad placement. Thanks for your feedback!
I know the rule says no talking but what if it's a family member such as my mum would that be fine or is that breaking the rules?
Yes, we can talk as and when necessary.
I'll start today, but is it considered dopamine fast if i do my homework? coz i'll do it in my laptop T - T
Yes, it will be dopamine fast if you do only your homework, not anything else, on your laptop.
Keep Mr Smart updated about your experience.
