On a side note, I've deleted my Instagram. Hit a month of doing a dopamine detox today and saw how useless it was in terms of what I was using it for. Feel's good man.
Crazy to think that most people will never experience this. Our world is only continuing to be filled with technology and distraction. Kind of scary to know that most will never “truly” experience life.
Yup. And those that are so consumed with technology and these distractions will say that dopamine detox's and what not are all hype and bs. It is what it is though.
Most in America probably, I'd say 50% or more of the world experience life like this but 90% of people who live in America or other heavily industrialized countries don't.
You've honestly taught me what the power of willpower can do to someone. I've done No Fap, and I passed. I cut out some dopamine boosting shit like gaming and mindless scrolling and passed, and I meditated habitually. Tbh your videos made me figure out more about myself in these last four months than in the last ten years.
That is hard core. Being able to have that focus and determination. I discovered doctor Joe dispenza and his meditation Technics on Gaia tv. You might like it. I'm always looking for new inspiration. Thanks for posting your triumph.
first step of my dopamine detox : prolonged water fast to solve a food addiction. day 8 : went from 124kg to 115kg this morning. we're all junkies in some sense we don't realize it until we stop doing said activity.
@@aanghel brother, i realized how deeply ingrained my food addiction is. dislodging it out of my head is harder than removing a tumor. the past 7 days i'd literally spend most of the day doing nothing, low dopamine, which is completely normal considering i was pretty much 'shooting' myself with food every 30 mins or so, for as far as my memory can take me most of the day would be spent obsessing and thinking about food in a weird neurotic way ( i was initially going to break the fast at day 7, but decided to keep going until i can properly function without obsessing on food, until the addiction is dislodged for good), i eat to live, i do not live to eat. it got slightly better today : i am somewhat semi-functional, i can do things, i actually managed to get myself to do some yoga and push-ups. next step after i get this food thing under control is my youtube addiction, and pornography consumption ( although occasional , once very 4 to 5 days) poison at any dose is poison nonetheless. I go back a long time on this channel (from the times you were posting those first PMO videos), i respect and love what you do, keep it up my friend sorry for the long response.
Dude you're right, you eat to live not live to eat. Gluttony is a real thing. Glad you're taking steps in the right direction and already know what is next to work on.
I'm going through the same problem right now man. Try and buy some organic fruits like dates and mangos. They taste good but they won't get you hooked and you'll feel satisfied after eating them.
When you don't meet some arbitrary criteria the school systems themselves set up, they label you disabled but it doesn't mean you actually are. It's not healthy to be well adjusted in a sick society.
You watching the fight video and enjoying it after being on the detox, shows me how much my dopamine receptors have been dampened by the constant influx. We are no longer deriving as much pleasure from the videos that we watch, and the posts that we scroll through constantly every day. We are simply looking for the next hit. Things that would bring us true happiness and creative expression such as the arts become mundane. Through this almost unnoticed and unconscious decision, we stunt our creative ability and the happiness that we derive out of our lives. We think of things that would otherwise being us great joy, as a grind, and we miss out on great experiences because of that. We could be so much more if we weren't consumed by this. Break free, don't live a slave to advertisers and "influencers" who have nothing to add to your life, no wisdom to impart. Contrary to what mainstrram society is feeding us, our lives are better without their bullshit. I've got to say bro, I love the channel, and the message that you are spreading. This motivated me to try a detox myself.
Nothing like your videos, I just love them. I'm going to start studying law and I can't wait any longer, I'm so motivated. When I start studying it I will do a lot of detox. I am a subscriber from Puerto Rico, I hope you continue making videos like those.
Aye Much love mi hermano. What part of Puerto Rico you from? I'm from San Juan. A dopamine detox will do wonders for you when you start your studies to be a lawyer.
@@aanghel I did not know that you were from Puerto Rico but I have always seen your videos haha, I am from San Sebastian, but i born on Caguas and lived a lot of years there. And thank you, I cannot wait to start studying it, I will study it in Ponce. This is truly amazing. Nofap changed my life completely but it is so interesting that there are much more things that can increase our dopamine levels. Many friends I have tried to motivate them to do this, but do not even try, but as you say, this is not for everyone.
you’re the man 💪🏼 thanks for the content your definitely a inspiration to people, always remember, you are the one observing you’re mind, your not you’re mind, just thought i’d add that in there for people that want to stay present 🙏🏼
Great and really important video. Modern day society is so insanely distracted. Thanks for the inspiration, I spend too much time on recreational internet and something I'm working on. Love the presence and intention in this video. Pancake is awesome. All the best brother!
Just realized your name has the letters which can be rearranged into 'angel', you are an angel to many lives out here. IMHO life changing content my man. Love you so much. ❤️
Brother, as an aspiring professional athlete, when I realised the importance of mentality and the spiritual side of things, your channel became one of the most pivotal things in my mind shift. Seeing you now pursue a fight career is so inspiring man. I'd love to see your journey, hopefully you can document that, and shed light of the importance of spirituality and mindset in sport. Love my G
Aye much love my brother. Glad I've been able to help. That spiritual side and mentality side is super important. One thing that's hitting me more and more on this detox is that mental energy is ridiculously important. It can either be wasted on stupid shit or be used to further develop our craft/skill
@@aanghel Very true bro, Where energy goes, energy flows! I see you said you just now implemented watching fights. Don't you think even while you're detoxing, it's important to continue to study the game and find new ways to train?
I'm half way dopamine detoxing. I've been going in the wilderness with nothing but a journal, book, and meditation. But I am bringing my speaker for music, and lecture videos, still has been changing my life I can see myself quiting so many negative habbits now and when I can get back to work and get some money I now understand the long term benefits of saving money to invest in my dreams can help
wow man, thank you for all your videos. about one year ago i started to develop myself, and I watched almost every video you make. you are truly inspiring and damn, you are changing my life. Peace
I‘m also few weeks in now and have to say it has changed so much. I always wanted to read more but always felt I never had time for it. Now I’m reading 3/4 books a week, spend most of my free time outside in the forest and even built an entire downhill bike trail in just a few days. This just makes you get shit done and if you ever decide to have some simple pleasure like a movie or a game it’s because you WANT to and not because your addicted brain makes you do it. Also it goes to show that you can’t max out every aspect and skill that there is. Sometimes you just have to prioritize and focus on things that are important and have the most potential for you
dope, brother its awesome to see the benifits you are receiving from this. i bet your training is insane. My phone broke 2 weeks ago and decided to step away from media , the presence im feeling is wild . went for a 100 mile ride on my bicycle and it felt like a dream
You say the detox isn't for everyone but since watching this series you've been making i instinctively knew that it is something i MUST do to advance my reality beyond its current state.
I think a dopamine detox will be the key to my success. Since I was a little kid, I always struggled in school because whenever I was home I would spend all my spare time playing video games or watching movies. I barely got by in high school and lacked motivation and discipline. There were also times where I learned a new hobby such as working out or making music, and I was unconsciously doing a dopamine detox because those were the only things I was committed to. Those hobbies were so enjoyable that I spent hours on end learning new things which would seem like work to me nowadays, but that's when I made the most progress.
Danm I exactly felt the same as you describe, when I was in my father's farm and all I had to do was read books and study. That time I started feeling go to bed early, to do things that no longer was enjoyable for me, to like talking more with people, to really LOVE, LOVE nature. At the time as well I had a mushroom trip that told me to live life the most intense I could, at every moment, even If all I was doing was wash the dishes. Thankful that RUclips bring me here.
Greate vide mate. I did dopamine detox (last week) and it felt amazing. I was way more focused on my studies, reading a lot, cooking, meditating and exercising a lot, among other stuff. I connected more with my family and spent more time with them. They even told me i was in a great mood that week. I slept so good cant even describe it. And i have the same feeling as you about how present i was doing my activities. But this week i started adding some things back and i already feel like im in a lower frequency, its difficult to explain. Something similar happened when i realize pmo was trash and i relapsed. I think we don't realize we are addicts until we try to let it go. Now im not sure what to do. Do you have any advice bro? Thank you for your reports and keep them coming. Much love from Uruguay, South America. Abrazo enorme
You gotta look at what you added back in bro and see what you can do about that. Like if you added your phone back in to reach back out to people, how often are you going on this phone? How much time are you spending on it? Etc. It's all about finding what works for your life.
I wanna say I'm really happy i found your videos. I always wanted to know why I wasn't sensitive to little things anymore.. Earlier I would enjoy the sunshine, the soft breeze, the blue skies, the trees, the birds.. and it was enough to make me happy.. But for the past 5-6 years I'd grown insensitive to these and I couldn't figure out why.. Anyways I'm going to start the detox from today. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!!
@@aanghel yep! Checking phone once a day for any important updates for the day and that's it. I start writing whenever I get the urge to check the phone.. So I think I'll manage
Starting Dopamine Detox now. I'll make an update and won't break my commitment I promise. Cause I wanna be happy. Imma f*cking change my life and the world. I'm 17 years old, about to take my exams for university. You are the reason why I started meditating, taking cold showers, been on NoFap, learned about Elliot Hulse, those videos about masculine energy daamn. You've f*cking changed ma life. After I "succeed in life" I will find you, bro, I dont even know your name haha, aanghel. Nikkios or.. I dont remember exactly sorry. And I will shake your hand, say thank you and give you money or whatever it is you'll need or ask. See ya bro
Ay, great video brother. Could you do one where you talk more in depth about your Marshall arts training, like how you got into it, how it relates with your mindset and all that? Would be very interesting, since it's what I'm perusing right now as well. Much love and stay healthy 🙏❤
Thank you so much for this video again! I am doing dopamine detox since this sunday and it really is effective! What I do is: I only check social medias for 30 minutes after having done everything I have to do for the day , so at about 8-9pm. And I dont watch any youtube or else at all or only if it is because I have to learn something for my goals. ( like editing a video etc ). So that means that for an entire day, my main focus is on my ultimate goal: making a living out of Acting. So thank you so much man for sharing your journey and this lifestyle, it really is inspiring and a Life changing!! All Love bro.
aanghel Thanks bro! Appreciate that . Most of my improvements in Life came from you! ( no fap, cold shower, masculine energy , dopamine detox.. ) so thank you! 💪🏻🙏🏻🔥.
Hey man! I've felt this intuitive shift towards dopamine-fasting in a lot of people, so I appreciate you using your platform to spread the good message. Seems like we are finally realizing that what comes up must come down after all, even with helpful and useful technology. Do you have a method / tips for keeping on track with everything? I've got so many shit habits that I'm emotionally dependent on that it's hard to get over the initial withdrawals and not trick myself into doing the same shit all over. Thanks for all the good videos, information and your calming presence. Appreciate you, man!
Man it's just sticking with it and having the 1-2 main focal points that you spend the most time/energy on. I'm still learning as I go so there's that. Soon I'll make a vid on how to get into it on your terms.
@@aanghel Sounds good! I'll try to find one or two areas to invest my time and focus on, actually been writing notes for a book about dopamine, long lasting happiness and low-hanging fruit people can pick to feel better. This is a good opportunity to move all the extra time and energy into something useful! Looking forward to the vid.
Thanks for sharing this dopamine detox, I'm trying it right now, I'm only 3 days but I already feel I'm more productive. I set my goal to do more school related stuff which I was procrastinating and I got so bored this one day, that I did all I had to do for school and I felt so good after that. I'll try 1 week and I'll see. Thank you brother!
Yo thank you, i have like habitual negativity im trying to cleanse myself from because in turn it will help clear the energy around me as well, im glad im able to catch your content up tl date, you help a ton 🙏🏼
Lights and motion is coming out with a new album Friday if anybody needs music for meditation, running, or studying. Very soothing for the savage beast I must say.
Been subbed for a while but just made this new channel for uploading, will do a dopamine detox video as well soon. You have great delivery and wisdom man love the content
I don't have and haven't had any accounts like facebook, instagram etc. I have gone off dating to be celibate and harness sexual energy, gone off maintaining friendships which don't serve (would you believe I am so dedicated to this I cut out having friends because it is distracting personally), gone off watching movies, I don't play video games, currently reading Echkart Tolle books but here and there, gone off excessive net surfing and limited myself to only watching a few youtubers like yourself sometimes (who I found is apparently doing a dopamine detox too) but trying to transition off even that to further go within and not look to any outside sources. I called it a digital detox. Yeah it seems crazy to be cutting out so much, but I am finding I like it more than being distracted with all of the above. It is liberating the Soul.
You should bro. It'll help for sure. Although, maybe a full on dopamine detox may not be what you need. Maybe just limiting yourself in certain things might be best but that's just my thinking. You go about it in whichever way you really want to bro.
@@aanghel Thank you bro. It makes sense and I'll do it like you said limiting myself in certain things. Like cut out Instagram and stop playing ps4 every day and stop watching other stuff on RUclips than your videos. Let's do this!!
It's been 2 years without Facebook n' Instagram, and since them I become more consciously about this Matrix World and who I am, everything got clear with meditation and hard work at gym. Personally, I will not agree about movies and books, Cuz they are sources of education for me. Because of my Kindle, I have access to unbelievable books that I would never had it in my mother language. Because of Netflix and RUclips, I can search for mindfulness and meditation field. But very happy for your journey, that's your path and you must go through it. Keep it up.
I enjoy your content; your videos are mainly directed to my opposite sex therefore I try to share your content to those who are ready to hear it. I have been off social media for a little more than two years and it changed my life. No television. No Facebook. Nothing except RUclips! Now I try to incorporate Tibetan singing bowls to my practice, and the 5 syllables; I highly recommended it for those who are going through this experience. Thank you for sharing.
aanghel It’s a form of meditation from Tibetan Buddhism, specifically from Bon Buddhism, said to be one of the oldest practices from Tibet.... the second syllable is the famous “OM” which focuses on the state of awareness, in a sequence, the first syllable is A, second syllable is OM, third is HUNG, fourth is RAM, and fifth is DZA. Each syllable sound resonates with each energy center in the body, such as the frontal part of the head, the throat,heart, belly, and pubic area. In many ways, your dopamine detox tunes your body with the 5 syllables (also called, Warrior Syllables) it’s a beautiful practice. With your dopamine detox and this practice together, the experience is magical, we as beings, experience the essence of our existence when we focus on what is and not what we think it is. I add the singing bowls to open and end the session. It is a very intuitive practice; it is difficult to move forward if you do not know how A feels. In Rinpoche’s book, “Tibetan Sound Healing” guides the practice, with explanation of each syllable. My reference: “Tibetan Sound Healing,” Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
I took a part of this and did a full day dopamine detox. For some reason I never think of anything deep it’s just the same thoughts over and over again.
Hey man, just found your channel cause i thought of doing a "how to get high" vid on breathwork and you were there, i later saw that we share a lot of common ground with biohacking stuff like dopamine detox, cold showers, etc. looking forward to seeing more and maybe do a collab ;)
Muy cierto. En esta cuarentena por lo mismo de que no tenemos que salir a afuera, me vienen a la mente muchos recuerdos de niño parecidos a lo que cuentas...
Another excellent video. I’m a huge fan and I’ve been watching since you were milkios. It’s crazy how much you’ve developed. Btw do you have any tips on how to focus? Besides from that I will definitely begin the detox,
Would you personally recommend the detox for someone trying to...I don't know how to say it. Find themselves? I had been suffering from Maladaptive Daydreaming for almost 15 years, and in the past week I've gotten over it, completely. Like my PMO addiction. And now, I feel like I don't know who I am as a person, because when your have MDD, you try to be like every other person, be it fictional or not; but you never want to be yourself. I don't even know how the fuck to express what it is that I'm feeling, because the truth is, I don't even have a clue as to what is going on. Do you think that the dopamine detox will give me the clarity required to push through this shit?
Brother, After watching these vids, i totally get what you mean about dopamine but I never understood it, on a surface level. I guess it's like not wasting or using up energy and feeling good on meaningless things that get us no where or in s hole, but keeping or saving it to get the most benefite and enjoyment for the things that will mean the most to us, or for what we truly want to be committed to, or to become???? With all my fears and baggage I hardly ever drank alcohol and never used drugs. I have never used facebook or social media (I always tell people, NOPE, I have an unlisted number and an unlisted life). but now, I do like to learn from Utube, and its the only way we can hang out and grow bro!! Throughout life, in order to be my best at work (which was a licensed electrical contractor and property manager to my own properties) I somehow knew I couldn't even drink too much coffee, use too much nicotine, or have too much sexual release. You explained exactly what I was doing (sort of)!! Since i retired I really want to learn how to pay basketball ( im 6'2") and learn how to fight a little (self defense for personal growth)... To take lessons (i so wish I could hire you!!!), and now I have a much better idea why I seem to be putting it off??? You are so cool, in every way and alive with great living, motivation and ideas of what you want!! (and enlightening others) Besides growing from and connecting to good Men I feared, I guess I've developed some not so good dopamine habits that need to change so I can focus on my real goals!! Thanks, Big Guy/Brother PS.. One gift I have always given myself was the gift of faith and have always leaned on and trusted in God!!
@@aanghel all good my man. Hope you're taking care this period of time. I've been following you for some time now. When I see you it just makes me happy. What you've done is amazing. I have been battling this shit for some time like all the guys here. It's something nobody addresses as a legit problem like weed or whatever. But man, at 20 my life is slowly falling apart into pieces at a rate I cannot keep up with. It's to show how someone like you can keep someone like me going. I wanted to start a channel like yours but I'm scared and I feel I'll just relapse repeatedly. I've lost all faith and respect for myself thanks to this addiction. Bro if you've read this far thank you. I hope you take care man. Peace
Bro so I’ve been tryna to dopamine detox, i deleted social media a while back except WhatsApp or iMessage and RUclips. I wanna do a dopamine detox but since I drive for Uber, i feel like looking at my phone or map 8-10 hours affects me somehow. I get bored in the car and starting reading random things and watch RUclips videos like pranks n stuff. I have a strong will power, i can quit using my phone if i wanted to but because of work I feel like I’m not doing a dopamine detox so i just use it anyway then. So do you think it affects me in anyway looking at my phone? Or am i just thinking about this too much? 😂
did a small one a month ago, music is my purpose. I finished a very experimental ep in a week. I surprised even my self. I do it every time i need to really focus on music. I don't like how its become a trend now, a lot of people don't even know what it really is or is for. Its a good thing to do tho but as you said, its not for everyone.
also side note, the EP was suddenly easy for me to do, even the really hard mixing and mastering parts and all the hours of research and learning i hard to do. Amazing what it does to your chemistry.
Yes dude exactly. Not for everyone but man when you do it, it allows you to really hone in on your craft man. That mixing/mastering/hours of research & learning, became something that you wanted to do vs. being a grind.
@@aanghel Honestly its insane, its not even like i wanted to. I just did, i cant even explain it i just did it on automatic almost like i've been doing it my whole life, it caused no burden to me at all. I went asleep every night exited to wake up and create more or finish songs. If only everyone could see how truly powerful they can become if they just stopped being distracted from their purpose in life.
That's it. I took a screen shot of what you just said. If I remember to say it, I'll throw you a shout out in the next vid. That list bit you said is the truth.
The easiest thing you can do to detox from your phone is go into your settings and turn on your grey scale mode it will make the phone black and white .. It takes the pleasure from looking at the phone ..
yo aanghel whats good been watching u 4 a long time. love yr work. About 2 years i had a traumatic experience proper bad. Its like since den i aint been the same bro, like ive been in this constant fight or flight mode thinking about everything and thats taking a toll on my body and mind. I have started meditating and also did do dopamine fast 4 a day but was still feeling depressed, stressed and anxious . any advice
This is awesome. Even if I do this for a few days it feels so good, but I'm always drawn back to the singularity haha. How's the diet and exercise front coming along? Still meditating, etc as well?
I am kind of doing a dopamine detox, in the sense that during the day i rarely go on youtube, twitch and other distracting websites but since i'm fasting, i stay awake till 4AM and so during night time I have so much time, I find it incredibly hard not to use distracting websites. idk, i would like to think that im doing well for avoiding dopamine inducing activities in the day but idk if i can say that
Essentially you strip away all the excess shit and only leave what's most important. So for you, you would leave your studying in and anything that you would need for your craft. I'll be making a vid on this soon bro As far as food and water goes, I still eat and drink so theres that lol. I know some people don't eat at all and do a water fast alongside their dopamine detox for a day or so but I'm looking to make this into a lifestyle which we obviously need to eat and drink water to live.
On a side note, I've deleted my Instagram. Hit a month of doing a dopamine detox today and saw how useless it was in terms of what I was using it for. Feel's good man.
@Robear Haha good to hear 😆
Yeah I had to have it for my youtube but then realized that I really didn't.
Deleted mine too now.
To many hoes on Instagram...
@Robear I've been off of Instagram all year. It's been such a good force in my life. Social media is an incredible distraction.
aanghel For the detox, should I quit caffeine?
Crazy to think that most people will never experience this. Our world is only continuing to be filled with technology and distraction. Kind of scary to know that most will never “truly” experience life.
Yup. And those that are so consumed with technology and these distractions will say that dopamine detox's and what not are all hype and bs. It is what it is though.
aanghel Always easier to dismiss than to make an effort. Yeaah it is what it is
Thats why I said it's only for that 1% of people
Which will make connections with like minded even so much better
Most in America probably, I'd say 50% or more of the world experience life like this but 90% of people who live in America or other heavily industrialized countries don't.
You've honestly taught me what the power of willpower can do to someone. I've done No Fap, and I passed. I cut out some dopamine boosting shit like gaming and mindless scrolling and passed, and I meditated habitually. Tbh your videos made me figure out more about myself in these last four months than in the last ten years.
Good shit bro. Good shit to all of the posts before this one too
That is hard core. Being able to have that focus and determination. I discovered doctor Joe dispenza and his meditation Technics on Gaia tv. You might like it. I'm always looking for new inspiration. Thanks for posting your triumph.
Day 50 of the dopamine detox: watching paint dry is fun now
So basically you have evolved
Lol bru
At least you the 1% of the population and are the best at whatever art u do. allegedly. .-.
@@williamdavid8133 lol
Hahaha fuck that!
the way you ignored that phone call was just pure alpha
haha much love man
gotta say your content has changed lives, thank you!

You're right dude. She's usually hype af so it's harder to have her on cam
first step of my dopamine detox : prolonged water fast to solve a food addiction.
day 8 : went from 124kg to 115kg this morning.
we're all junkies in some sense
we don't realize it until we stop doing said activity.
The truth right here man. What do you do during your detox?
@@aanghel brother, i realized how deeply ingrained my food addiction is.
dislodging it out of my head is harder than removing a tumor.
the past 7 days i'd literally spend most of the day doing nothing, low dopamine, which is completely normal considering i was pretty much 'shooting' myself with food every 30 mins or so, for as far as my memory can take me
most of the day would be spent obsessing and thinking about food in a weird neurotic way ( i was initially going to break the fast at day 7, but decided to keep going until i can properly function without obsessing on food, until the addiction is dislodged for good), i eat to live, i do not live to eat.
it got slightly better today : i am somewhat semi-functional, i can do things, i actually managed to get myself to do some yoga and push-ups.
next step after i get this food thing under control is my youtube addiction, and pornography consumption ( although occasional , once very 4 to 5 days) poison at any dose is poison nonetheless.
I go back a long time on this channel (from the times you were posting those first PMO videos),
i respect and love what you do, keep it up my friend
sorry for the long response.
Dude you're right, you eat to live not live to eat. Gluttony is a real thing. Glad you're taking steps in the right direction and already know what is next to work on.
I'm going through the same problem right now man. Try and buy some organic fruits like dates and mangos. They taste good but they won't get you hooked and you'll feel satisfied after eating them.
legit read two books in one week and I gotta reading disability
Yeah You probably don't have a disability at all. All the extra shit was just bogging you down
When you don't meet some arbitrary criteria the school systems themselves set up, they label you disabled but it doesn't mean you actually are. It's not healthy to be well adjusted in a sick society.
@I’m Reckless I disagree there. A spiritual person might be just as incapable of meeting an impossible standard as anyone else.
The only disability is whoever told you you had a disability.
The only video I turn off captions. Because you have that clarity to communicate perfectly. No BS ever.
Aye! Much love brother
1:25 I've come to realize that the more that I seek pleasure the less that I find happiness
YESSIR
Careful petting dog might give you dopamine
XDDDXDDDXDDD
You honestly deserve so much more attention towards your videos, your choice of words, your a gatekeeper into people's proper and better life.
Aye just glad I can help
"The time is now" the most important thing in our lifes
yessir
You watching the fight video and enjoying it after being on the detox, shows me how much my dopamine receptors have been dampened by the constant influx.

This motivated me to try a detox myself.
Dude I took a screenshot of what you said. Pure truth. It's sad though that not many will know this truth ever in their lives.
@@aanghel True. I am grateful that we are becoming aware of this thanks to people like you. Keep spreading the word.
Nothing like your videos, I just love them. I'm going to start studying law and I can't wait any longer, I'm so motivated. When I start studying it I will do a lot of detox. I am a subscriber from Puerto Rico, I hope you continue making videos like those.
Aye Much love mi hermano. What part of Puerto Rico you from? I'm from San Juan. A dopamine detox will do wonders for you when you start your studies to be a lawyer.
@@aanghel I did not know that you were from Puerto Rico but I have always seen your videos haha, I am from San Sebastian, but i born on Caguas and lived a lot of years there. And thank you, I cannot wait to start studying it, I will study it in Ponce. This is truly amazing. Nofap changed my life completely but it is so interesting that there are much more things that can increase our dopamine levels. Many friends I have tried to motivate them to do this, but do not even try, but as you say, this is not for everyone.
Dope man! My parents both studied in Ponce. Forgot which school though. And yeah man, only for that 1% of people.
you’re the man 💪🏼 thanks for the content your definitely a inspiration to people, always remember, you are the one observing you’re mind, your not you’re mind, just thought i’d add that in there for people that want to stay present 🙏🏼
Yessir!
Great and really important video. Modern day society is so insanely distracted. Thanks for the inspiration, I spend too much time on recreational internet and something I'm working on. Love the presence and intention in this video. Pancake is awesome. All the best brother!
Yessir try this shit out and make some videos on it
Reminds me of that Fight Club quote, "no fears, no distractions; the ability to let what does not matter truly slide."
I like that. Great movie too
Just realized your name has the letters which can be rearranged into 'angel', you are an angel to many lives out here. IMHO life changing content my man. Love you so much. ❤️
Glad I can help man and that's my name anghel. I just added another a so people could pronounce it the way its supposed to
Brother, as an aspiring professional athlete, when I realised the importance of mentality and the spiritual side of things, your channel became one of the most pivotal things in my mind shift. Seeing you now pursue a fight career is so inspiring man. I'd love to see your journey, hopefully you can document that, and shed light of the importance of spirituality and mindset in sport. Love my G
Aye much love my brother. Glad I've been able to help. That spiritual side and mentality side is super important. One thing that's hitting me more and more on this detox is that mental energy is ridiculously important. It can either be wasted on stupid shit or be used to further develop our craft/skill
@@aanghel Very true bro,
Where energy goes, energy flows! I see you said you just now implemented watching fights. Don't you think even while you're detoxing, it's important to continue to study the game and find new ways to train?
This inspired me to try Dopamine Detox to better myself in Sports and Martial Arts. You are an inspiration, keep on going!
Aye good shit brother. You'll notice a difference in terms of your energy, focus, and desire to do these things.
Glad to hear you are doing what you love man. Everyone deserves to be happy and free.
Yessir!! Good to hear from you Mike
Literally been trying to do dopamine detox for a while now, these videos couldn’t of come at a better time, appreciate your work man
Glad they help brother! Get it!
I'm half way dopamine detoxing. I've been going in the wilderness with nothing but a journal, book, and meditation. But I am bringing my speaker for music, and lecture videos, still has been changing my life I can see myself quiting so many negative habbits now and when I can get back to work and get some money I now understand the long term benefits of saving money to invest in my dreams can help
That's a start brother
wow man, thank you for all your videos. about one year ago i started to develop myself, and I watched almost every video you make. you are truly inspiring and damn, you are changing my life. Peace
Glad I can help brother
I‘m also few weeks in now and have to say it has changed so much. I always wanted to read more but always felt I never had time for it. Now I’m reading 3/4 books a week, spend most of my free time outside in the forest and even built an entire downhill bike trail in just a few days. This just makes you get shit done and if you ever decide to have some simple pleasure like a movie or a game it’s because you WANT to and not because your addicted brain makes you do it. Also it goes to show that you can’t max out every aspect and skill that there is. Sometimes you just have to prioritize and focus on things that are important and have the most potential for you
Yes exactly dude!
dope, brother its awesome to see the benifits you are receiving from this. i bet your training is insane. My phone broke 2 weeks ago and decided to step away from media , the presence im feeling is wild . went for a 100 mile ride on my bicycle and it felt like a dream
haha damn! I'm sure it did man. That's exactly how my training feels man.
You say the detox isn't for everyone but since watching this series you've been making i instinctively knew that it is something i MUST do to advance my reality beyond its current state.
If you feel that, then you're part of the 1%. Get at it.
I think a dopamine detox will be the key to my success. Since I was a little kid, I always struggled in school because whenever I was home I would spend all my spare time playing video games or watching movies. I barely got by in high school and lacked motivation and discipline. There were also times where I learned a new hobby such as working out or making music, and I was unconsciously doing a dopamine detox because those were the only things I was committed to. Those hobbies were so enjoyable that I spent hours on end learning new things which would seem like work to me nowadays, but that's when I made the most progress.
Try it out and see for yourself my brother
Danm I exactly felt the same as you describe, when I was in my father's farm and all I had to do was read books and study. That time I started feeling go to bed early, to do things that no longer was enjoyable for me, to like talking more with people, to really LOVE, LOVE nature. At the time as well I had a mushroom trip that told me to live life the most intense I could, at every moment, even If all I was doing was wash the dishes. Thankful that RUclips bring me here.
Man those mushrooms were telling the truth. They always do. Much love brother
Bro you inspire me to be a better person! Thank you for everything you do for us!
Glad I can help brother
Greate vide mate. I did dopamine detox (last week) and it felt amazing. I was way more focused on my studies, reading a lot, cooking, meditating and exercising a lot, among other stuff. I connected more with my family and spent more time with them. They even told me i was in a great mood that week. I slept so good cant even describe it. And i have the same feeling as you about how present i was doing my activities. But this week i started adding some things back and i already feel like im in a lower frequency, its difficult to explain. Something similar happened when i realize pmo was trash and i relapsed. I think we don't realize we are addicts until we try to let it go. Now im not sure what to do. Do you have any advice bro? Thank you for your reports and keep them coming. Much love from Uruguay, South America. Abrazo enorme
You gotta look at what you added back in bro and see what you can do about that. Like if you added your phone back in to reach back out to people, how often are you going on this phone? How much time are you spending on it? Etc. It's all about finding what works for your life.
I wanna say I'm really happy i found your videos. I always wanted to know why I wasn't sensitive to little things anymore.. Earlier I would enjoy the sunshine, the soft breeze, the blue skies, the trees, the birds.. and it was enough to make me happy.. But for the past 5-6 years I'd grown insensitive to these and I couldn't figure out why.. Anyways I'm going to start the detox from today. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!!
Glad it helps man. Let's see what happens for you
@@aanghel yep! Checking phone once a day for any important updates for the day and that's it. I start writing whenever I get the urge to check the phone.. So I think I'll manage
Starting Dopamine Detox now. I'll make an update and won't break my commitment I promise. Cause I wanna be happy. Imma f*cking change my life and the world. I'm 17 years old, about to take my exams for university. You are the reason why I started meditating, taking cold showers, been on NoFap, learned about Elliot Hulse, those videos about masculine energy daamn. You've f*cking changed ma life. After I "succeed in life" I will find you, bro, I dont even know your name haha, aanghel. Nikkios or.. I dont remember exactly sorry. And I will shake your hand, say thank you and give you money or whatever it is you'll need or ask. See ya bro
haha damn I'm just glad to help brother
Ay, great video brother. Could you do one where you talk more in depth about your Marshall arts training, like how you got into it, how it relates with your mindset and all that? Would be very interesting, since it's what I'm perusing right now as well.
Much love and stay healthy 🙏❤
Yeah brother I;ll see what I can do
Bro thanks for this type of content , dont stop making this videos
Glad it helps brother
Aye💐 the whole world needs him..he speak only pure facts
Thank you so much for this video again! I am doing dopamine detox since this sunday and it really is effective! What I do is: I only check social medias for 30 minutes after having done everything I have to do for the day , so at about 8-9pm. And I dont watch any youtube or else at all or only if it is because I have to learn something for my goals. ( like editing a video etc ). So that means that for an entire day, my main focus is on my ultimate goal: making a living out of Acting. So thank you so much man for sharing your journey and this lifestyle, it really is inspiring and a Life changing!! All Love bro.
Dude good shit. You keep at it and you'll make it in your craft big time.
aanghel Thanks bro! Appreciate that . Most of my improvements in Life came from you! ( no fap, cold shower, masculine energy , dopamine detox.. ) so thank you! 💪🏻🙏🏻🔥.
Aye I'm glad I've been able to help!
Hey man! I've felt this intuitive shift towards dopamine-fasting in a lot of people, so I appreciate you using your platform to spread the good message. Seems like we are finally realizing that what comes up must come down after all, even with helpful and useful technology.
Do you have a method / tips for keeping on track with everything? I've got so many shit habits that I'm emotionally dependent on that it's hard to get over the initial withdrawals and not trick myself into doing the same shit all over.
Thanks for all the good videos, information and your calming presence. Appreciate you, man!
Man it's just sticking with it and having the 1-2 main focal points that you spend the most time/energy on. I'm still learning as I go so there's that. Soon I'll make a vid on how to get into it on your terms.
@@aanghel Sounds good! I'll try to find one or two areas to invest my time and focus on, actually been writing notes for a book about dopamine, long lasting happiness and low-hanging fruit people can pick to feel better. This is a good opportunity to move all the extra time and energy into something useful!
Looking forward to the vid.
Thanks for sharing this dopamine detox, I'm trying it right now, I'm only 3 days but I already feel I'm more productive. I set my goal to do more school related stuff which I was procrastinating and I got so bored this one day, that I did all I had to do for school and I felt so good after that. I'll try 1 week and I'll see. Thank you brother!
Good shit bro
Dopamine detox is honestly a life hack!
To a certain extent you could compare it to that limitless movie
You really could honestly and only those who have done it or are doing it will understand.
Yo thank you, i have like habitual negativity im trying to cleanse myself from because in turn it will help clear the energy around me as well, im glad im able to catch your content up tl date, you help a ton 🙏🏼
Glad I can help bro. Get at it and sort that shit out
Lights and motion is coming out with a new album Friday if anybody needs music for meditation, running, or studying. Very soothing for the savage beast I must say.
True. Never heard them dude.
Been subbed for a while but just made this new channel for uploading, will do a dopamine detox video as well soon. You have great delivery and wisdom man love the content
Ill be betting on you for the title fight in a couple years.
AYE Much love my brother
Throw your experience up. It all helps.
I don't have and haven't had any accounts like facebook, instagram etc. I have gone off dating to be celibate and harness sexual energy, gone off maintaining friendships which don't serve (would you believe I am so dedicated to this I cut out having friends because it is distracting personally), gone off watching movies, I don't play video games, currently reading Echkart Tolle books but here and there, gone off excessive net surfing and limited myself to only watching a few youtubers like yourself sometimes (who I found is apparently doing a dopamine detox too) but trying to transition off even that to further go within and not look to any outside sources.
I called it a digital detox. Yeah it seems crazy to be cutting out so much, but I am finding I like it more than being distracted with all of the above. It is liberating the Soul.
I agree 100%
Thank you brother! I really really needed this at the moment!
Glad it helps man
I did a dopamine detox 6 months ago for 24h it was quite tough. I had my best breakfast the day after, i still remember how it felt. Quite amazing
Yeah man it's hard at first but it gets easier after a while
It all started with cold showers, I am learning things by watching your videos man.
Glad I can help brother
Wow man! I would really like to do a dopamine detox to help me accomplish my goals at school and in my church. Thank you Aanghel for inspiring me
You should bro. It'll help for sure. Although, maybe a full on dopamine detox may not be what you need. Maybe just limiting yourself in certain things might be best but that's just my thinking. You go about it in whichever way you really want to bro.
@@aanghel Thank you bro. It makes sense and I'll do it like you said limiting myself in certain things. Like cut out Instagram and stop playing ps4 every day and stop watching other stuff on RUclips than your videos. Let's do this!!
It's been 2 years without Facebook n' Instagram, and since them I become more consciously about this Matrix World and who I am, everything got clear with meditation and hard work at gym.
Personally, I will not agree about movies and books, Cuz they are sources of education for me.
Because of my Kindle, I have access to unbelievable books that I would never had it in my mother language.
Because of Netflix and RUclips, I can search for mindfulness and meditation field.
But very happy for your journey, that's your path and you must go through it.
Keep it up.
Yeah brother to each their own. In the end a dopamine detox has to be tailored to each person. It's not a one size fits all type thing
PRESENCE! Keep it a 100 bro
YESSIR
Presence increased to 100
I enjoy your content; your videos are mainly directed to my opposite sex therefore I try to share your content to those who are ready to hear it. I have been off social media for a little more than two years and it changed my life. No television. No Facebook. Nothing except RUclips! Now I try to incorporate Tibetan singing bowls to my practice, and the 5 syllables; I highly recommended it for those who are going through this experience. Thank you for sharing.
What are the 5 syllables
aanghel
It’s a form of meditation from Tibetan Buddhism, specifically from Bon Buddhism, said to be one of the oldest practices from Tibet.... the second syllable is the famous “OM” which focuses on the state of awareness, in a sequence, the first syllable is A, second syllable is OM, third is HUNG, fourth is RAM, and fifth is DZA. Each syllable sound resonates with each energy center in the body, such as the frontal part of the head, the throat,heart, belly, and pubic area. In many ways, your dopamine detox tunes your body with the 5 syllables (also called, Warrior Syllables) it’s a beautiful practice. With your dopamine detox and this practice together, the experience is magical, we as beings, experience the essence of our existence when we focus on what is and not what we think it is. I add the singing bowls to open and end the session. It is a very intuitive practice; it is difficult to move forward if you do not know how A feels.
In Rinpoche’s book, “Tibetan Sound Healing” guides the practice, with explanation of each syllable.
My reference: “Tibetan Sound Healing,” Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
I took a part of this and did a full day dopamine detox. For some reason I never think of anything deep it’s just the same thoughts over and over again.
Did you meditate?
I will try a deeper meditation . I was just sitting there for about an hour or two. Thankss
I'm gonna start this soon because I want to go far in life and look back and see all my achievements when I'm older
Shit all I can say is that you're making the right move
I'm just 16 years old and I have the mind set that I will go far that's why I'm going for success
The TRUE ALPHA DOG Leader !!!! great content bro.
Aye! Much love brother
Amazing...Productive information...Have a good day
Likewise my brother
Wow.. charming voice I never heard before.. love it.. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Let them know this is golden information 🐐📈
Yessir!
Since I started taking music more serious, it's really like a meditation, how you say, it's just amazing (I think I will take a dopamine detox)
Do it man
Your Dog is very cute habibi - keep on doing what you are doing now, amazing content :)
It's my roommates dog but thanks brother
Yo when you didn’t even flinch when the phone rang I was damn impressed
hahah yeah it's not hard once you start to limit the things you have that stimulate you. Simplifying your life increases focus drastically
@@aanghel Nothing but absolute respect.
You’re right it’s not for everyone... only for the successful
Yessir
Hey man, just found your channel cause i thought of doing a "how to get high" vid on breathwork and you were there, i later saw that we share a lot of common ground with biohacking stuff like dopamine detox, cold showers, etc. looking forward to seeing more and maybe do a collab ;)
Exactly how i got onto him! As if the universe was leading me to this channel and learn from him.
You have a very chilled out dog. )
Love from Syria to you man ❤️
Aye much love bro
Muy cierto. En esta cuarentena por lo mismo de que no tenemos que salir a afuera, me vienen a la mente muchos recuerdos de niño parecidos a lo que cuentas...
Si señor por eso lo digo
My attention span has increased ten fold since I started dopamine detox 2 weeks ago.
AYE
Pancake is too cute! It sounds like she's snoring 🐶💕
Yeah she definitely was
@@aanghel you can tell she feels comfortable and safe with you. It's very sweet
Another excellent video. I’m a huge fan and I’ve been watching since you were milkios. It’s crazy how much you’ve developed. Btw do you have any tips on how to focus? Besides from that I will definitely begin the detox,
Aye that dope! But eliminating all distractions is what worked for me to really get that focus on point
Great. I’ll try this out then.
Thanks for this video man
Means a lot to me...
Peace out❤️☮️
Glad i helps brother
You should make some vlogs bro! It would be cool to see what day in tbe life looks for you
Might man
Would you personally recommend the detox for someone trying to...I don't know how to say it. Find themselves? I had been suffering from Maladaptive Daydreaming for almost 15 years, and in the past week I've gotten over it, completely. Like my PMO addiction. And now, I feel like I don't know who I am as a person, because when your have MDD, you try to be like every other person, be it fictional or not; but you never want to be yourself. I don't even know how the fuck to express what it is that I'm feeling, because the truth is, I don't even have a clue as to what is going on. Do you think that the dopamine detox will give me the clarity required to push through this shit?
Without a doubt it will. Do a dopamine detox and meditate. The answers will come to you.
@@aanghel Thanks man. Much love
Brother, After watching these vids, i totally get what you mean about dopamine but I never understood it, on a surface level.
I guess it's like not wasting or using up energy and feeling good on meaningless things that get us no where or in s hole, but keeping or saving it to get the most benefite and enjoyment for the things that will mean the most to us, or for what we truly want to be committed to, or to become????
With all my fears and baggage I hardly ever drank alcohol and never used drugs. I have never used facebook or social media (I always tell people, NOPE, I have an unlisted number and an unlisted life). but now, I do like to learn from Utube, and its the only way we can hang out and grow bro!!
Throughout life, in order to be my best at work (which was a licensed electrical contractor and property manager to my own properties) I somehow knew I couldn't even drink too much coffee, use too much nicotine, or have too much sexual release. You explained exactly what I was doing (sort of)!!
Since i retired I really want to learn how to pay basketball ( im 6'2") and learn how to fight a little (self defense for personal growth)... To take lessons (i so wish I could hire you!!!), and now I have a much better idea why I seem to be putting it off???
You are so cool, in every way and alive with great living, motivation and ideas of what you want!! (and enlightening others)
Besides growing from and connecting to good Men I feared, I guess I've developed some not so good dopamine habits that need to change so I can focus on my real goals!!
Thanks, Big Guy/Brother
PS.. One gift I have always given myself was the gift of faith and have always leaned on and trusted in God!!
God first always brother. You will love martial arts and basketball
Looking good my man 👊
Thanks bro
@@aanghel all good my man. Hope you're taking care this period of time.
I've been following you for some time now. When I see you it just makes me happy. What you've done is amazing. I have been battling this shit for some time like all the guys here. It's something nobody addresses as a legit problem like weed or whatever. But man, at 20 my life is slowly falling apart into pieces at a rate I cannot keep up with. It's to show how someone like you can keep someone like me going. I wanted to start a channel like yours but I'm scared and I feel I'll just relapse repeatedly. I've lost all faith and respect for myself thanks to this addiction. Bro if you've read this far thank you. I hope you take care man. Peace
I noticed I started meditating more whenever i dopamine detox
Yeah it's more natural
Bro so I’ve been tryna to dopamine detox, i deleted social media a while back except WhatsApp or iMessage and RUclips. I wanna do a dopamine detox but since I drive for Uber, i feel like looking at my phone or map 8-10 hours affects me somehow. I get bored in the car and starting reading random things and watch RUclips videos like pranks n stuff. I have a strong will power, i can quit using my phone if i wanted to but because of work I feel like I’m not doing a dopamine detox so i just use it anyway then. So do you think it affects me in anyway looking at my phone? Or am i just thinking about this too much? 😂
Only one way to find out. Only use it for your work and that's that. On the down time, meditate and self reflect.
My boy aanghel high on life
YESSIR
did a small one a month ago, music is my purpose. I finished a very experimental ep in a week. I surprised even my self. I do it every time i need to really focus on music. I don't like how its become a trend now, a lot of people don't even know what it really is or is for. Its a good thing to do tho but as you said, its not for everyone.
also side note, the EP was suddenly easy for me to do, even the really hard mixing and mastering parts and all the hours of research and learning i hard to do. Amazing what it does to your chemistry.
Yes dude exactly. Not for everyone but man when you do it, it allows you to really hone in on your craft man. That mixing/mastering/hours of research & learning, became something that you wanted to do vs. being a grind.
@@aanghel Honestly its insane, its not even like i wanted to. I just did, i cant even explain it i just did it on automatic almost like i've been doing it my whole life, it caused no burden to me at all. I went asleep every night exited to wake up and create more or finish songs. If only everyone could see how truly powerful they can become if they just stopped being distracted from their purpose in life.
That's it. I took a screen shot of what you just said. If I remember to say it, I'll throw you a shout out in the next vid. That list bit you said is the truth.
aanghel ❤️❤️all love
Heyy petting the dog is releasing dopamine for sure :D
Hello. U r looking so good man
I appreciate it!
The easiest thing you can do to detox from your phone is go into your settings and turn on your grey scale mode it will make the phone black and white .. It takes the pleasure from looking at the phone ..
True and turn off all notifications and put it on silent
Pancake look like she had too much of that cough syrup😏
That lean
aanghel 😂😂
Deleted my Instagram and Snapchat a major step up for me
Good shit bro
Great video man thank you
Glad it helps bro
yo aanghel whats good been watching u 4 a long time. love yr work. About 2 years i had a traumatic experience proper bad. Its like since den i aint been the same bro, like ive been in this constant fight or flight mode thinking about everything and thats taking a toll on my body and mind. I have started meditating and also did do dopamine fast 4 a day but was still feeling depressed, stressed and anxious . any advice
Try martial arts. You might find your peace there as I did.
This is awesome. Even if I do this for a few days it feels so good, but I'm always drawn back to the singularity haha.
How's the diet and exercise front coming along? Still meditating, etc as well?
All good over here man. Like clockwork. Meditation, cold, showers, etc. is a part of life so you know
If you’re reading this have a good day!
Likewise dude
Yeah you too
Do you recommend it for people who dont want to be a pro at anything but still want to enjoy the small things in life?
For those people I just recommend limiting certain things but keep entertainment every now and then
Good job man keep on.
Yessir
I am kind of doing a dopamine detox, in the sense that during the day i rarely go on youtube, twitch and other distracting websites but since i'm fasting, i stay awake till 4AM and so during night time I have so much time, I find it incredibly hard not to use distracting websites. idk, i would like to think that im doing well for avoiding dopamine inducing activities in the day but idk if i can say that
Pancake needs to be in more videos
Shit ima try man. She was real calm this time around so it was easy to have her in the vid. Usually she's all over the place
pasion is key to succes
Facts
6:25 You were so present into talking that you didn't even notice the phone ringing LMAO
Lmao I definitely noticed it, it just didn't distract me.
I think he didn't allow it to distract him
Damn bro....the background music and Pancakes snoring near put me in a trance! Lol
Yeah forreal dude when I was editing my video I was like damn this shit got me hypnotized
My friend, life outside is an experience of what you already are inside. Don't overdoing things. Thats all
Yo that dog really sleepin haha
aanghel, i try myself to quit smarth phone, TV after years of using, do you experience some withdraw simptoms at first few days?
To an extent. Like cravings. They'll pass though.
Great work bro .in detox we have to leave food and water ? And what about online study please clear it.thank you I will be highly thankful to you
Essentially you strip away all the excess shit and only leave what's most important. So for you, you would leave your studying in and anything that you would need for your craft. I'll be making a vid on this soon bro
As far as food and water goes, I still eat and drink so theres that lol. I know some people don't eat at all and do a water fast alongside their dopamine detox for a day or so but I'm looking to make this into a lifestyle which we obviously need to eat and drink water to live.
@@aanghel thanks bro I appreciate
I still remember that you looked like Jesus in your How to make your voice deeper video 😂
Yessir
Yeap
