- hi! I went three days without social media, music, youtube and tv shows/movies. Basically any type of external stimuli and entertainment, and this is how it went :p

Dopamine detox doesn't have to mean solitary confinement! It's not "cheating" to go out with friends or family when you're detoxing, in fact it's the exact purpose of detoxing, getting off your phone and actually LIVING in the REAL WORLD!
I think not being with other people and not living life fully is what causes this addiction in the first place. So absolutely go out and live during a dopamine fast.
I feel like "dopamine detox" is such an odd choice of words in general. "Social Media Detox" seems to be much more fitting and is more what it _should_ be in my opinion. Dopamine is great for our brains in healthy doses. It's also completely unproblematic when it stems from "natural" activities such as spending time with people you love, and practically any hobby that doesn't involve social media and its never-ending instant gratification effect. I also think striking music and movies doesn't make much sense, either. Music is very cultural and emotional, same as movies. TV Shows I can somewhat get behind if a person falls into binge-watching easily. It's odd how people deprive themselves of natural things that bring us joy in the name of mental health, when it's just social media on its own that's almost always the root cause of our problems.
I think they said "cheating" because if they spent those 3 days out with friends they wouldn't have been on their phone much anyway which would defeat the point of it being a challenge, and not that meeting friends is something that needs to be cut out in general.
love this video, and just a reminder that its not your fault that youre addicted to your phone. apps are literally designed to get you hooked, and resisting that is such a little revolution. hopefully i will try this next week xx
i've never been able to completely give up my phone but i changed the settings to black and white a few months ago and its so much less addicting without the over saturated led screen
Actually it is your fault you're addicted to your phone because you want to use it.
The word Addiction has a lot of history behind it, but I'll give the TL;DR
You only want to do the things you want to do. "Want to do" refers to your pursuit of happiness. Specifically it's what you believe your pursuit of happiness is.
Eg. You spend time looking at memes on Instagram instead of doing your homework.
The app can't make you scroll there. You consciously choose to do so. If there was some sort of force that made you do it, you'd never stop.
You decide that the consequences of your actions or inaction are worse than the activity you are currently doing.
Back to our example, you'd rather pass your class than look at Instagram memes.
However, it wouldn't be weird at all to say you'd rather be laughing at memes than doing your homework. It's only the consequences that make you stop, unless of course you don't want to do it anymore.
It's called the Positive Drive Principle. You actually have free will and cannot be controlled by objects.
I read it in a book called The Freedom Model.
@@ultraextraorca7644 No one reading all that tf
@@ultraextraorca7644seems like you must be addicted too with that long ass comment
@@127eshathen those who don’t want to read don’t want to change easy
i could never enjoy my life without a music😭😭😭
Same here😢
it was so hard :,)
Thought the same too at the start tbh, it gets easier though, it’s only the start that’s hard 👀
I think I’m weird bc I have phases like weeks when I never ever listen to music and then weeks when I listen to music 7 hours a day 😂
Same until ive known its haram to listen to it , so I quit listening to music, now its been almost three years 🧡 it wasn't so easy especially its playing everywhere BUT i made it, and If i wanted to listen to smthing i would simply go with quran recitation or poetry or podcasts, yt and these are not as addictive as music, you really can quit it if u have a strong purpose , may allah guides us all.
i've never commented on a youtube video but i feel like i have to say something to you and (i hope) the peolple that are reading this. i was a social media addict, spent 4+ hours on my phone everyday, had FOMO, anxiety, i was never able to do anything without having my phone with me. Then i realized that it was a problem. it has been 2 years since i deleted every social media, now i watch my phone like 30 minutes per day. the thing i wanted to say is: don't you recognize that it is a problem that you refere the same simptoms of abstinence as an alcoholic or as a person that takes heavy drugs? PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW! please please please make the big step of deleting social medias for a few months for your mental health!!! i was in the same place as you and i know that it is scary, but I can tell you that ever since i did that my life completely changed. now I'm more focused, i have deep emotional relationships, i recieve better grades at Uni, I do so much many things. please also remember this: one day you will be old, what will be the memories that you have of your youth? do you want to remember the good experiences you lived or all the time you spent on tiktok watching stupid videos? please consider this message, it is so important for our generation.
PERFECT! thank you so much for this
agreed wit these factz/facts 💯👍🏻 from now... on...
I used to do dopamine detox like once a week on Sunday, and it really helped me not crave it during the week as much too. Also makes it much easier to listen to your body and what it needs so help with self-care.
any tips?
@@audeedawow2529 Erm I would say tailor it to what would work best for you. For example Tiktok and youtube are my main time wasters so I eliminate those and it really helps me clear my mind. However I don't eliminate music like some people because I really enjoy it and I'm usually too overstimulated by everything else to want to listen. Also some days I turn my laptop and phone both off and some I would just limit the usage to text, internet searches etc. Whatever gives you the most benefit is fine, no hard and fast rules.
i like how your video is totally natural and not edited or cropped the imperfect parts it shows that you were really commited , please continue making these kind of videos as they motivate many people.
omg thank you
dopamine might not be the right word here tho? 'dopamine detox challenge' is such a chronic tiktok thing to say. this would make more sense as a social media detox. we get dopamine through many things, not just 'external stimuli'. drinking, reading books, hanging out with friends, sex, all of these involve rushes of dopamine so the idea of getting rid of dopamine entirely is ridiculous and frankly not possible. (unless you are clinically depressed, even then dopamine is not something that will never be secreted) this is a lovely video and you're very relatable, also i have never heard of this challenge so i may be misunderstanding a lot of things, but to get rid of things like music (if it is something you depend on and enjoy) you should never need to get rid of that! social media itself is negative due to how it rots our brain with content overload with no actual intellectual value, and it tends to reduce our attention span, working memory, patience, and creativity, but things like deleting spotify is definitely not necessary, coming from somebody who essentially cannot do many things without music. i hope we understand that dopamine (a hormone secreted when we feel pleasure, in layman terms) and other such hormones are crucial for our wellbeing (psychological, and thus physical) i am all for getting rid of social media or netflix, i too am actively trying to reduce mindless consumption, but that would not be a dopamine detox that is just an overconsumption detox.
this is a great video though! just a lot of generic minsinformation spread through this challenge (if its even popular or common)
hi! I totally get what you’re saying and makes a lot of sense, I just wanted to try a trend I saw in tiktok, but I see why the title might not be the best at describing that :) I hope you liked the video either ways!
^^^My thoughts exactly. It seems a bit counterintuitive to film a detox from technology, even still. I don’t know what the kids are up to these days; absolute nonsense…
they call it a dopamine detox because we get small bursts of dopamine from things such as social media that dont actually fulfill our craving for relief. instead they build up your tolerance and makes it harder for you to experience dopamine in the long run
I could never do music you're so strong ahah keep going!
ihihi amut
If your phone settings allow it, I would really recommend setting timers on any app you're addicted to. I have timers on all of my social medias and once the set time for example 30 mins a day is used up, you can't access the app until the next day. In emergencies you can gain access again but I usually just stick to it. It's really helpful.
Make your phone BORING.
My phone is super boring, so I reach for it less.
Use a TV and only own ONE and DO NOT keep it in your room.
Listen to the radio instead of downloading music.
Go for walks and spend time outside.
Buy stuff to do indoors. Puzzles, novels, paints, crafts.
Keep a list of chores and what needs to be done daily. Hang it in the hallway or by the bathroom.
Buy 3 plants in the least.
Keep in contact with friends and family, call someone every day and see if they're free some time that day.
Basically, live the same way I did as a kid. We had 3 TVs and a computer, game systems too. But I enjoyed spending my days outside and then my mornings and nights relaxing indoors. Social media wasn't important but if I did want to chat I'd call. Or head to their house to visit.
It's really nice. I enjoy life with less social media.
This was my first time watching your video and it was so calming to watch. Hope you continue! ❤🤌
i’m so glad you liked it ihihi
Ur rlly pretty ! ❤❤🥹
"I deleted everything, even spotify"
i could never, ur so fricking amazing, u survived without music
barely :,)
i love your vibe, the editing of this video, your art! it's all coffee shop-esque ☺️
i love ur energy and girlll u r not alone
Thank you for making this video, it's so inspirational
Girl, i'm so proud of you! and the fact that you learning japanese is cool.
This came to me at the best time. This last week has been the first of vacation and I spent it overstimulating myself away from home and right here with many things, many networks, playing too much on pc that I am already exhausted. I'll do this rn, thanks for this video.
You are so underrated! This is my first video of yours that I’ve seen and I love the way that you edit your videos! I have been thinking about doing something like this and this greatly inspire me to try!!❤️
your energy is so warm and sweet:)
awww thanks
I deleted Snapchat and Instagram a couple weeks ago and I hardly miss it. I only miss seeing what creators I follow on yt do on insta. I’ve never had Twitter and I haven’t been on TikTok for over a year. But yeah, I really relate with the music and RUclips part because I spend hours filling silence with music in the background and I bingewatch vids on YT.
I really love it! Your vibe, the atmosphere and your drawings are sooo nice and cozy!
thank u so so much
this video motovated me to do a dopamine detox, so tysm :D I also really like your vibes and personality, you're so cool omg
i love your cinematography btw!!! it brings together all the mellow cozy vibes :)
thank you so much
my weekly dose of happiness has arrived! i loved the video and its concept, you did well :)
yeyyyy tyyy ihihi
I just discovered your channel with this vid and already, I feel so comfy, cozy and happy watching you for some reason. (Hope that doesn’t sound weird:’)) I look forward to more of ur content! :D
omg stop
Why not music? Music has always been a part of human life and its proven that it is super positive to listen to music
i think its the constant music that fits into the dopamine detox thing. if i were to do this i probably would still listen to music
I really enjoyed this video!! Thank you for your honesty
I love you and your videosss. So calmingg😭❤️
I LOVE YOUUUU
the festival/event/tradition thing was so cool! I hope to experience that w strangers one day!
Love the authenticity and genuinity of this video and of you. Thank you for actually portraying what happens when we try to do such challenges, unlike most people who project it as if it's nothing that hard, making us feel bad and upset about ourselves when we fail to successfully grind through the entire challenge. You are so real, especially that feeling of fomo (': (i can relate, my friend). Anyhow, I'm definitely subscribing (:
that means so so much! thank you thank you thank you
oh yes, I HATE FOMO but I can’t stop feeling it, is a battle hahahha anyways, thank you
This video made me so happy
It was in my recommendations and omg you're super cute I love your vibe and everything
A YEAR? that’s crazy, you go !! also, thank you ihihi
estava a amar o vídeo mas quando percebi que eras de Portugal fiquei ainda mais feliz! não é nada habitual encontrar alguém português pelo RUclips com que actually te identifiques. adorei!!
ihihi bigada!
love your vibe!!!!
This video was just what I needed to finally decide to try to treat my phone addiction
So glad I found you channel, I already love it
ihihihi thanks
i just found your channel, i’m in love
I can't imagine doing anything without music 😭😭😭😭
Ive been doing a soft version of this, ive noticed more often than not i feel the need to document my journey. And honestly the real addiction we have is constantly wanting to display our lives to social media and wanting to see others too. The real detox would be soely using our phones for calls and texts, reading books, interacting with our environment and learn new things!
I would honestly love that!
Music is what gives me joy i give you so much props for being able to do that
YOURE SO CUTE I LOVE YOUR EYES AND YOUR VIBE SO MUCH!! Please keep posting
AHHHHHHH THANK YOU!!!! I will ehhehehe
i'd need to do something like this as well sometime soon! i dont use social media very much though as u said, yt and music will be such a struggle 😭 you did great!!
it was really hard, but def worth it in the end ahahha try it and let me know how it goes :)))
Hi this is off topic but you’re literally so pretty and i love the vibe of this video, great job keep going:)
i needed a vídeo like this, even better when it comes from a familiar environment. Keep up the good work! Pa cima 😼
ehehhehe bigada
So relaxing, love the editing
thank uuu :))
çok güzelsin 😭 anasayfama düştüğüne çok sevindim💖
AHHHHHH that’s too kind
you're so pretty 😭❤
omg thanks
I've tried cutting social media out of my life for the past 6 months, but it's hard when I'm going thru stuff cause it helps me escape reality. I'm gonna try to do a dopamine detox to find healthier coping mechanisms and to try to pick up reading!
yes! I’m proud of you
You video gives off safe energy
I really like your voice 😍 And what an interesting idea!
this is my first video of yours and I was so surprised to see you're also portuguese! I've been considering doing a detox myself
sim ahahha devias fazer, it really helped me :)
You inspired me to do this ! I feel like this is exactly what I need^^
DO ITTTTT and let me know how it goes !
I loved this video so much ❤
Detoxing is very important, especially the older we get! I did 4 years with no phone/media. Got a phone now but will never go back to social media.
Currently im on day 24 of a juice fast!
that’s the way to go!!!
Hey ripptydevibes!
May I know your age ?
I loved this video
thank you, you got this!!
your looks are fabulous💘
i really want to do this.. i feel the same as you, it's like everytime i'm with myself or just in a boring situation i want to scroll thru social media or text people. i am okay being alone but i've just realized that most if not all of my alone time is spent being entertained by tiktok or youtube or a movie/show. i used to be such a creative kid and would spend hours outside or having fun with art things or little imaginary roleplays. i really miss that and how my mind kept me occupied. the last 6 months of my life have been really tough for me, and i think this detox could greatly help me realize how good life really is and how meaningful it can all be. whether its creating art, reading, bonding with others or just meditating alone, its all beautiful but we are so used to distracting ourselves that we forget. i dont know if you will see this but thank you for making this video! it was comforting to know that other people struggle with this issue too. right now its 2am so i am going to sleep and then i will start the detox! im not sure for how long but i am gonna just try for a few days at first. again, tysm for this video, it helped alot.
i’m so so glad I could help you in some way:) love you! keep it up
@@marguie222 love you too
~ this video is so nice and cozy. You gained a new subscriber!
I love your honestly about not being able hang out with your friends 💕
I guess I just found a new favorite RUclipsr 🤩
Great video! You got great style. I need to step up my RUclips game for sure. You’re very talented. Keep up the good work. Plus, good job on the dopamine detox. I know it was a real challenge. But good for you for completing it!
thank you ihihi
The kissy sounds in the end were so cute😂😂
I think I might actually try this
OMG!!! your subscribers are growing :o Im happy for you!!
YES i’m so grateful, thank you so much for your support :)))
this was so calming and fun to watch!! ❤ love the part of u speaking in Japanese!! it's so cute, it made me giggle 🤭
thank you
The book the great gatsby is definitely hard to grasp but I definitely recommend the movie !!! Great vid xoxo
i’ll see it then! ;) thanks!!
Omg you are so beautiful and inspirational keep going you will go so far .
thanks!!
looks aestetic❤
hi, i just found channel and your video is so calming❤
hiii, thanks
You are so cute, just like your drawings 🥺💚 and I love your tattoo ✨️
thank you so much !!
I deleted Instagram tiktok and Facebook a while ago. The only thing I hold on to is Snapchat (for extra photo storage) and RUclips (music/art content). Honestly I feel a lot better mentally! And I feel more present in my life. ❤
Your journey in trying a dopamine detox is truly fascinating and brought me back to the insightful teachings of my life coach, Lisa Haisha, during a retreat in the Philippines. Both your experiment and Lisa's wisdom from The Soul Blazing continue to inspire me. It's a reminder of the importance of taking intentional breaks to reset and appreciate the simple joys in life.
You got a new subscriber today haha. Loved it ❤
thanks :)))
You give off nice vibe. Good vid
thanks :pp
você é uma graça, fiquei apaixonado na sua vibe. pensando em praticar esse detox também: apesar de não ter tiktok ou usar muito do instagram, troquei esses apps pelo youtube e sinto que essa não deve ser a ordem natural das coisas. vou praticar isso no domingo ;)
ihihi bigada
Really great video❤❤❤watched you for the first time and so glad I did .....you have a really good inviting energy ......subscribed💝💝
Loved this video and u inspired me to do this as well!
It’s been a month since you posted this but if you’d like an idea for still enjoying music without it feeling like you’re online, get a portable radio! I highly recommend it. You can even get ones with a USB port. That’s the kind I have, I put a lot of classical music on the usb and let it play in the background it’s wonderful. Great video!
that’s a great ideia! might try it:) ever since this video I’ve noticed that I’m more and more time on the screen again, so I really need to stop and get some alternatives
thank you!
Didn’t felt good to watch ur videos and not trying to talk to ya so heyyy ❤ reason for watching each and every videos of u is ur really cute and pretty!!!!!
hi!! thanks ehehhe :)
I cannot live without music. Really. I would be lost. It’s impossible for me 😭
you’re so pretty, i think im in love with you
ahahhaha thanks
Randomly came across this video and I was willing to do such a video for the longest time. This is more like a sign to make that video as soon as possible..also wanted to say that videography was awesome.🎉
yes, do it!! thank you
You’re so pretty. I enjoyed watching your video! I’ll do this to
the way you always make me stand in the corner while you´re talking .....
IM SORRY
Love this video, thank you!
First thing first, you are so sweet ❤
日本語を勉強してくれて嬉しいです♡とてもお上手です！
これからもがんばってください！
I'm glad you are learning Japanese
i still have sooo much to learn, でもありがとう! i’ll keep working to better my japanese ihihi
im literally glued to my phone so im trying to be less on it. My goal for now is 3 hours a day, for some that might not be a huge goal but thinking about it my average screen time is around 5-8 hours 😭 im not ready to cut out music or tv yet tho, but hey its better than before and i have more time to do other stuff like hobbies
you’re so beautiful! i want to try this challenge too
do it!!
I feel like this is a sign that I should do the same
same, i just don't know what i would fully commit to doing to pass timeeee hahah.
do ittt! even if it’s just a day
I've been wanting to do this for a while but the mere thought scared the shit outta me this was really motivating thank you ❤
I plan on trying this weekend and I'll tell y'all how it went!
i’ll be waiting!
ur too cute!!💔💔
your japanese pronunciation and inflection is really good! keep it up!
One thing I did to get rid of accidentally pressing apps is to keep my phone screen (sometimes computer screen too) only grey scale. That way I do what I was supposed to do on that phone and not get jinxed by developers who make distracting app icons. Thank you for sharing your experience :3
Sorry for using my native language, it's just hard to me to write on english instead of listening :с
Видеть подобные видео и приятно, и очень тоскливо одновременно. Вы невероятно красивы, то же самое можно сказать про ваш дом и вашу жизнь в целом. Ваше видео вдохновляет, но вместе с этим, к сожалению становится невероятно завидно.
Не знаю, зачем в принципе пишу подобное. На часах 00:30, за окном серо и холодно. Политическая обстановка в регионе тяжелая. В моей жизни нет ничего радостного. Так что даже попробовать подобный dopamine detox не представляется возможным - музыка и интернет едва помогают оставаться в этом мире.
Но тем не менее, мне все равно было приятно посмотреть на другую сторону жизни.
Thank you.
i’m incredibly sorry to hear that :( I hope things work out for you in the best way possible
I'm sorry for what's going on, I know it is not fun to be in the middle of a war. Life feels heavy, and not everything is what we wish it was. Perhaps you can seek company, either by hanging out and making new friends in person, or making friends/having pen pals online.
Human connection is a necessity, especially in rough times, and the last few years have definitely been rough. It won't last forever though: the sun is still shining, even if all you can see right now are the clouds.
There's a Danish concept of "hygge" that might be useful to you. Instead of looking out at the world and what's going on, make your immediate surroundings as cozy and comfortable as you can, and focus on your daily life. Not what will happen tomorrow or next week, but what's happening now. What can you do right now to make this moment a little bit better? It won't change everything, but it might help you feel like there's something to wake up for, even if that's drinking a tea you like and reading a book, or chatting with the neighbors/friends.
Perhaps you could also do random acts of kindness. When life sucks, sometimes it's easier to think of someone else, and you can feel better by doing something to make them feel better. Buy someone flowers or a gift, or cook or bake for them, or help them around the house with errands. It can boost moral for you and for the other person, which is what everyone in your situation needs.
Again I am sorry, I wish you safety and comfort, and a future you can look forward to ❤️
I’m Japanese so I’m glad you to study Japanese🇯🇵🫶🏻and you are so cute….beautiful🤍
日本語めっちゃ上手です！いつも楽しく見てます！応援してます☺︎🎌
I still have soooo much to learn, but thank you for your support
also, I really hope I can visit Japan someday, it’s literally my dream ehehe
Love your videos❤..
By the way you are looking beautiful in that haircut
this is great idea, I must try!!
i saw a more extreme version of this experiment where a guy ate just plain food, drank only water, distanced himself from all the stimuli that could bring his quick joy or distract him; he just worked from home and was left with his own thoughts (i don't think he met with friends nor went out). What do you think about such an extreme approach? (I think he did it so that he could enjoy his work again)
hi! That guy has a very strong will and did something I don't think I could ever do honestly ahaha. Unfortunately the current world revolves too much around technology, and since we grew up being used to all this stimuli, I don't think doing such an extreme approach is even healthy? Like, I'm sure it has great benefits in the end, but for me it wouldnt be like that. My world is this, and taking all those connections with people, whether online or not, away just seems very depressing tbh. But to each their own, and I'm really surprised that someone actually did that!
bye this is my normal life😭😭
i wanna try this detox! good video btw 🥰
thank uuu
Just found your channel, glad I did :)
ahhhhhhh thank you so much
Love this video you’re so cute
حبيت الفديو وفكرتة وحبيت الهدوء احس اني فاهمتك وايضاً ودي اسوي هذا الشي
