You're basically living life as a human. Exactly how a dog is living as a dog. You do what you gotta do. Thank you for sharing this, this is the truth we all should see.
@@aanghel Most of the time we should live in the present. We have the gift of wisdom, but we don't really know how to use it and we think unnecessarily too much. Make the best out of you life, everyone!
When I was 14 my family was in a poor crisis. So there was no WiFi for 3 years. I didn’t have a phone. I just had my bass and my dog. I could appreciate shit more
I hope I'm not breaking the rules but I basically spend my entire day outside on my bike and I don't do anything, I just stare at the sky and trees. I feel like a kid again
Dude, this is so real. You don't even have to go that far to realize that there's something going on in the brain. For instance, getting work done when you haven't been exposed to stimulus after you wake up is easy, you tap into the flow state quickly. But whenever I wake up and check social media, watch videos and then go do the work, it's a hell of a drag. Keep it up brotha!
Yea my buddy has ADHD, but he's on the opposite side. He doesn't worry about the brain chemistry. Dopamine very low. If i ever go to his house, hes gotta be smokin, has his ps4 on, people in the chat, music playin, textin people, and browsing twitter all at the same time. I don't know why he even wants me to come over because i just sit there. I guess im just another source of stimulation. Can't do that shit no more.
I'm trying to quit Hip Hop/Rap/Drill due to negative content in such a genre of music...its a hard process as music in my soul but will get there. Be positive ppl. Thanks again for the content bruv
I just wanted to tell you that recently I've fallen off the wagon with the practices that you have shown on here. My mood has kinda went down and I generally feel blahs. But today I managed to get off my ass and ran in the park and for the first time meditated with no music and what not. The sound of birds, frogs, and the wind against my skin to make me feel more present, it felt way easier to focus on my breath and become focused. And man, when the ten minutes were over, I opened my eyes and that early morning sunrise and the trees were gorgeous. It seemed HD like you mentioned. From what you've shown me so far on the dopamine detox, it doesn't seem to be a life changing thing, but more of a tool along side meditation and exercising. Honestly, I look at as a focus tool, or if you want to become more in tune with life itself. No Social Media, No Video Games etc. These days we have two worlds we can choose to live in: the real world or the digital world. Doing both at the same time is extremely mentally taxing. And honestly, every once in a while we all need it. When I first started Nofap, I unknowingly did a detox at the time. I completely unplugged from everything except music. And just.. it felt like a fucking brain reset tbh. I've noticed within myself constantly on snap and reddit, looking at the TV, then I look over there, then back at the phone, I really feel brain dead. And tbh if I don't take a step back and meditate or exercise, my mood goes REALLY fucking low. Without a logical reason. Your statement of "you don't have anything wrong with you" hit me hard as hell, especially since I got diagnosed with OCD as well (meditation is the cure, I don't care what anyone says). I too had this realization as well, all this time I felt like was this like dysfunctional person, when I I could've been overstimulated. Your channel has literally changed my life. Sure I've fell off the wagon, mainly due to sleep because I'm trying a third shift job and just my entire life routine has been fucked off so I'm back at square one. But because of you, I've got all the tools to be where I was. Much love. ✌
Yeah man that's really all it comes down to is over stimulation. Take care of that and you see how good you really are. Much love my brother Glad I've been able to help and happy to see you on the path to being a better version of yourself.
There is definitely a movement spreading at least in my friend groups. We're waking up realizing these things we take for granted aren't necessarily good for us

I never heard of “dopamine detox” before you. But now I’m thinking about it I kinda did a mild version of a dopamine detox when I was doing my high school exams. I would wake up eat and study and repeat for months. I was in such a “flow state” it felt so easy to attain the knowledge and not get distracted. But in college I was always frustrated because I could never obtain that same feeling of easily studying back in high school. Now I know about what dopamine detox from you I can put a finger on what was the difference. Thanks a lot dude learning about this really helped me.
That thumbnail had me SHOOK 📲📵🚯 Job well done on the video! We should all be able to do all these things naturally with focus, clarity and enjoyment of the present moment. Thanks for continuing to inspire. This detox is not for everyone like you said but you’re definitely opening people’s minds up to this and that magical feeling they’ll get with peace of mind. Much love brother 🙏❤️
That talk about introvert nature is the realest shit on yt. I used to excuse my social anxiety by blaming my introverted persona and refused to socialize. Im a different man today thanks to channels like yours and Captain Sinbad
Yeah man it sucks that most making those excuses won't open their eyes and mind to the the fact that it is an excuse. Glad to see you've awaked and also that both captain sinbad and I have been able to help
This shit is real. I'm doing dopamine detox with nofap and no porn. Not getting any superpowers, just getting more normal, and present. Now I feel more courage to get shit done and don't procrastinate. Thanks man for still posting good quality videos.
Hell yeah invest. I’m investing right now but it’s not a major source of dopamine it’s just sum that takes up a few hours a day. I’m saying like as long as u comfortable and you work to stay comfortable you should be aight. But what I’m saying is money isn’t everything when you have a good connection with yourself and others around you

Hey man! Unrelated to this video, but I watched your video about how weed effects your subconscious mind. That was the final stepping stone in letting go of that vice which had completely taken over my life. Officially 1 week sober today and I don’t see myself going back to it. The internal transformations taking place are beyond anything I ever expected! I’ve attempted many new things to change my life around but deep down I always knew cannabis was one if the biggest factors and something I had to just let go of. I was just in denial and not willing to be real with myself. To some it may seem like a small thing, but for me...it’s the beginning of something new. A new life, a new lifestyle, finding and becoming the version of myself. Much respects and love my brother 💯
Lmao I did a dopamine detox for 2 days and I started writing the book I've been putting off for a year. I now do a dopamine detox 2 days a week and only allow myself to Go on the internet if it's relevant to my productivity or at the end of the day.
Love seeing you back posting. A month is extremely impressive. I did a detox/water fast combined and going for a week next time. I will be posting about it on my channel soon.
My first form of dopamine fasting was going Canoe camping with my grade 11 class. It was a truly amazing experience being out in the wilderness trying to survive, with non of the problems of most people.
great message about the mental health issues. society needs these types of messages, especially in these times. our mind has been put inside a box for a reason
During this quarantine, I'm always hooked to my phone, RUclips and netflix and always feelinh down. You inspired me to go for a dopamine detox. Thanks.
Much love my man! I also have ADHD/ADD. I have a feeling this will work wonders for me. I will be giving this a try next coming Sunday. No distractions, no bull shit. Just me being with myself.
School ends tomorrow meaning my dopamine detox journey begins. I'm extremely pumped for what to come. Keep doing videos even though I wont be seing them i n a while now :D
I don’t know about nofap stuff but the rest of the things you have talked about or done in life man...level headed common sense way of approaching things. Not a lot of ego just real stuff. Appreciate ya man.
This is a beautiful video, and sums up exactly what i've been thinking about for the past 2 years (I am 19 rn). Life with a meditative mind, on a dopamine detox / frequent meditation is so peaceful and is how it should be.
I was waiting to see your update on the dopamine detox. Very good advice. Taking breaks from social media definitely helps to focus ones energy on the right things...👍🏼
It will definitely help with that for sure. Since more clarity during visualization practices plus more action taken on your part in whatever direction you're going in./
Being more present has been a massive benefit personally and professionally. One thing I did notice is that there was a bit of an adjustment energy wise that I had to go through for some days. I resisted going to back to my go to pleasures. If I have to write my thoughts, I write. That went away frequency wise too after some days though it is insightful. It is much better to deal with thoughts and relationships. Life has improved overall and I'm looking forward to where things are going next. I find it important to remember what the consequences of my actions are. Thanks for sharing your experiences here. Please let me know when you fight next, I will be there.
Shoot it'll be a few years from now before I'm fighting professionally in the states. I'll be fighting professionally in Thailand though during these next few years
Im going to try and dopamine detox in the day and then allow myself to do whatever at night. Gotta make use of this free lockdown time before I’m back to working full time when I know I’ll just be chilling in my little free time
@@aanghel this shits legit, so much easier to be productive when you just completely eliminate the distractions, i have adhd too so its not easy but i spent the majority of the day exercising and meditating in the sun
I just binge watched this whole series while walking on the treadmill, think I’ll definitely benefit immensely, but more so my kids. I’ve just asked my wife to watch the first video from this series, so she understands. Hopefully she’ll be onboard, and the whole family can start a dopemine detox. Take care, from a fellow RUclipsr.
I already started doing a minor detox before I even watched your series of videos. This is very interesting to me because I’ve never really watched videos on this topic nor did I realize it was a thing people do. Like you’ve said prior I do believe our brains know our solutions, it’s just up to us to try to find them and when we do find them it’s up to us finally to take action
Man, I am so happy to have take time to watch your video even if I shouldn't as I am doing the dopamine detox too BUT it really really gave me more sense in what I do. I am an actor , so I chose not to cut my phone entirely ( I cut off all social medias and PC using ) as I may expect phone calls or emails but I really feel like cutting everything after watching this video. Because I really wanna step up even more onto focusing on my Life. But at the same time I try to find work as an actor so I cain't cut off the phone calls and emails. How are you managing this? Man I am very blessed to follow your experiences, it really is fire. I am grateful cause again, you had a strong impact on my improvements in Life. So god bless you man, you are very inspiring. All Love
Aye good to hear you're doing it too brother. Honestly, it's all about stripping the things that aren't important and leaving in the things that are. I'll shed light on this in the next video so you can tailor this to your lifestyle.
Since the quarantine, I can't fall asleep until 4am or later because of RUclips. I thought that I was the only one with this problem until my homeboy told me that another homeboy is going to sleep at 6am daily. I'm writing this just went you were talking about people unable to connect. Yes my favorite excuse is that I'm an introvert. I even feel like I'm happy that we're all quarantined because it decreases social activity and feeds my introversion (if this is even a word). But to your point I'm not meditating or looking at the wall. To the contrary of being introverted, I'm writing these really long comments to every RUclipsr that comes across my RUclips homepage which probably shows my great need to be social. I have 2 smart phones which I now realize I'm using interchangeably whenever one is charging. Actually I find myself watching 2 different RUclips videos at once because a RUclipsr is livestreaming on one phone but I want to watch or heat another RUclipsr on the other phone. I probably need a detox. I need to watch your videos more often. I know that you don't upload like you used to and I haven't watched your videos since before you hit 100K or really when you were attacking the porn/masterbation issues...back when you were mikkois. But I realized that I had an issue because of the number phones that I use and the amount of time that I spend online. I bought video games 6 months ago to help pull me away from the internet and the dust has collected on them. I have 3rd phone that I use as an alarm every hour to help keep me more present, but the alarms are my favorite songs downloaded to my phone so I get a dopamine hit every time the alarm goes off. So to hear that you're going a month without this type of dopamine sounds bizarre and almost impossible. One day or really one hour would be tough for me. The best that I'm doing now is not having an ig or twitter. I never created them and I still don't get facebook or what the big deal is. BUT RUclips is everything. Leaving RUclips is planet exit to me. Even searching RUclips for a cure to all of this stuff feeds my need for dopamine and honestly we probably enjoy the RUclips search so much, that we we don't really want to find a cure. Zoom and Onlyfans have flourished during this time which does feed a false or fake introversion (if this is even a word). I realize that I am much like or much closer to those japanese herbivore than I really know and that I am being made to believe that this is just how life is in 2020. I don't think that I'm a cold-turkey type dude. The thing with the hourly alarm on the 3rd phone was to stop dopamine intake for 1 hour every other hour. I have failed. But your video reminds me that I should consider trying again because I do want to be different and separate from the majority, from the masses. But I my hope is to become financially independent and comfortable first before tackling my dopamine dependency.
at 10:16 , it really ticked. I have been saying "randomly" out loud " if you wanna be great, not good but GREAT..Obsession...is key". And now I felt it so much. Obsession is key. And doing this dopamine detox, it really is a Life changing so thank you so much again, you put me be on track with this video. Let's fucking go now!!
@@aanghel Exactly, and that obsession is living in the subconscious mind so then greatness happens. If we feed our subconscious mind with obsession of success, health etc, then the latter will do the job and make it a reality.
Thanks so much for these videos man. The part where you were talking about introverts really resonated with me because I consider myself one. I actively avoid talking to people and get really nervous sometimes when talking to strangers. And then I start getting annoyed at myself for not talking to people and then it’s just a downward spiral 🤔🤔 think I’ll give this detox a try though
Hey man, this is awesome and good luck on your MMA journey, I agree for those shooting to be elite in something, this in 'Hard' mode will be incredibly helpful, most top top athletes will do a modified version of this naturally, plus they can enjoy all of this when they retire if they want to! Just wanted to add, I'm currently doing a more 'moderate' version, and for those who maybe want a tad more balance I wanted to share what's helped me so far. No High Dopamine activities before work, wake up and go into your morning routine whatever that is. Only thing I do, is play music during the cold shower, but no Social Media etc When working only listen to music for 'Busy' work, that doesn't involve deep work, so things like emails, simple tasks, when doing deep work easier not to, or relaxation music. Eat as clean as possible, goes against the grain here a bit, but highly recommend Medical Medium's stuff, tried so many diets at this point, and it makes the most sense, and has helped me heal the most so far. Schedule time in for the 'high dopamine' activities if you're going to do them, so you can simply enjoy them guilt-free. For me, this means only after working, exercising & reading, I'd also say develop more hobbies, it's summer here in the UK so I'm playing a lot of sport with friends which is great fun & natural, leaves less them for other things. But, like once things reopen I'll still go out and enjoy myself with friends at weekends and whatnot, but simply, schedule in the time so you don't feel guilty or shame yourself about it. Meditation & Cold Showers- Goes without saying why Enlightenment/ Awakening- This changed my life, you feel what you described in the video 24/7 no matter what you are doing, I've seen you mention you went down that path, but no offense, probably not fully from what you have said, what awakening shows to you is who you truly are, and why happiness can never be found in anything whatsoever, but life is simply an expression of this happiness, or a celebration so to speak, therefore, we should spend as much time as possible doing what we love, and well, celebrating! In terms of teachers I recommend - Francis Lucille, Rupert Spira & Ramana Maharshi - Although the translations can be tough at times. Finally, I recommend understanding the Enneargam it helps you understand yourself and others SO much better. Some people are much more suited naturally to the minimalistic, dopamine free life, whereas, others are suited to a different style of life so to speak, but by understanding yourself you can work with yourself instead of against yourself, and use your personality traits to your advantage. Have a great day man!
Yeah there's different ways to do it for sure. Glad you found a way which works for you brother and I definitely went down that path fully. No if's, and's, or but's. At the end of it, you're in the same place as you were in the beginning, just with new experiences and more awareness. "Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After Enlightenment, chop wood and carry water."
Human beings truly are social creatures. That’s why in prison, solitary confinement is considered a form of torture. You’d crave human connections.....even with hardened criminals!
If you're watching this video whilst getting distracted by the RUclips Comments section or scrolling to find your next video to watch, it's a sign that you're in need of a dopamine detox.
I'll start doing this from tommorow when I wake up, I'm just gonna add music instead of making a distraction because I want to work hard on that. I'm gonna allow myself to use RUclips for music beats only. No excuses
We have really many things in common with the disorders, it's really cool that you made them positive for me (Reminded me of this movie I've watched with Percy Jackson, I guess, the quote was: "You have ADHD? That's good, you're impulsive you are reactive, you are made for this"
Though i am on nofap and on day 40 the problem is that im being lazy the whole day by sitting on the phone and watching videos that has nothing to do with me,instagramming,facebooking and being lazy all round.i really think i need a dopamine detox as well... .
Bro. Fist of all. You can not imagine how exicited I become when I saw a notification from your channel. It's fkn insane! Second... How about video on motivation, how to get shit done sometimes when struggling? P.S. Can't wait to see you as professional fighter. It was my dream for years, but I didin't have balls to follow it. All support for you... the chillest dude I've ever seen. Much love!
Hmm motivation is usually only needed when you're not doing what you're truly meant to be doing. Discipline is what's needed and that only comes either through sheer willpower or through having purpose and being fully dedicated to it
@@aanghel 25 bro. Working some shitty job, living in an apartment with my girlfriend couple of years, and life just passing away... "Survival mode" literally.
Bruh just wanna say thanks for your videos. Being on twitter and reddit the last few days have enraged me. Watching people morally posture and spread their nonsense on these issues going on right now. I need to get away from it.
Hey man this is some really good content. So I’ve gotta ask, when you’re not working or training, what do you do with yourself? Other than sleep and eat of course, do you just sit there and chill?
Allaahumma Baarik Lahaa...u r..Gem...SubhaanaAllaah how can I talk to u..In Sha Allaah....m from Fairfax Virginia...I am not able to access the skool community....
You’re some man! How do you stay disciplined? I’ve went on spells of atleast dopamine dieting but I just find myself down the rabbit hole again. I feel so enlightened on a dopamine fast/diet but after a while I feel like I deserved to over dose on PlayStation and drinking etc. I’ve a very addictive personality that I’m taking care of and I’m smart enough to know what feels good for me but just struggle to stay conscious and disciplined. You’re a top dawg, fan from Ireland!
Sound just like me! I know what’s good for me, it’s a long journey; don’t expect to pile everything on take one thing away at a time. For example, delete Instagram and use everything else as normal for a week. Then delete RUclips or limit the time for a week. Then set time limits for your phone etc etc.
Man having an addictive personality is fine if you can channel that into your purpose. That's how you have discipline, by having purpose. Purpose is that thing you're willing to dedicate your life to.
Great video brother. Was hesitant to delete my ig and since I felt hesitant that means I had to get rid of it. 🙏🏻 don’t know why I was hesitant.. maybe fomo? Idk but I’m ready to be 100% focused on my life and done comparing myself to other people .
Hi man! I have a question about cold showers. I have been taking a lot of pre workouts before my workout sessions but lately i feel just tired all the time and the pre workouts are not effective anymore, do you think cold showers can work as a natural pre workout?
For the most part yeah. I'd check your sleep quality, nutrition, and training volume though. if you feel tired all the time, might be time for a deload week.
I'll be making a vid on how to get into this and tailor it to your life, next week. So be on the look out for that!
Waiting for that video🙌🙌🙌
aanghel hey, in your first dopamine detox Video you said you wanna become a professional fighter. What martial art are you exactly practicing?

the teenagers in this generation needs a dopamine detox
Big facts
your right but I tried to focus on my self more because it is exhausting seeing how others act in this age. Their time will come.
There is definitely a movement spreading at least in my friend groups. We're waking up realizing these things we take for granted aren't necessarily good for us

It's good but damn this man aanghel took it to another level its only supposed to be 24 hours

Lmao I did a dopamine detox for 2 days and I started writing the book I've been putting off for a year. I now do a dopamine detox 2 days a week and only allow myself to Go on the internet if it's relevant to my productivity or at the end of the day.
Aye if that works than by all means
Next Goal: Become Enlightened
Already went down that path dude.
@@aanghel and how was that path
Michael Emanuel words cannot explain that.
You become enlightened once you realize you are already there. That's the mind always seeking some point in the future.
Being enlightened | 1 month update :D
Love what you’re doing and speaking on. It’s about being fully present.
Yes ma'am
Shout out to you bro this channel has helped me live my life in a different way in some aspects that’s helped to keep me pushing thru..
Shit I'm glad I've been able to help man!
Love seeing you back posting. A month is extremely impressive. I did a detox/water fast combined and going for a week next time. I will be posting about it on my channel soon.
Dopamine detox along with water fast is hardcore af man
My first form of dopamine fasting was going Canoe camping with my grade 11 class. It was a truly amazing experience being out in the wilderness trying to survive, with non of the problems of most people.
Wassup homie!!! Salute. Glad you started making content again.
Yessir!
You glowing my G, much prosperity to you.
Much love brother
great message about the mental health issues. society needs these types of messages, especially in these times. our mind has been put inside a box for a reason
Yessir
Aanghel should be considered crazy but with some thinking, you'd realise this is more normal human behaviour than anything.
Yessir
During this quarantine, I'm always hooked to my phone, RUclips and netflix and always feelinh down. You inspired me to go for a dopamine detox. Thanks.
Get at it bro
I only use youtube (for learning), but only while i am relaxing. Otherwise i work all the time. Love it
Much love my man! I also have ADHD/ADD. I have a feeling this will work wonders for me. I will be giving this a try next coming Sunday. No distractions, no bull shit. Just me being with myself.
Dude it will without a doubt
@@aanghel Much love and respect! keep doing what you're doing.
School ends tomorrow meaning my dopamine detox journey begins. I'm extremely pumped for what to come. Keep doing videos even though I wont be seing them i n a while now :D
Wait until sunday. The vid I got coming out will show how to do the dopamine detox for your own life.
I don’t know about nofap stuff but the rest of the things you have talked about or done in life man...level headed common sense way of approaching things. Not a lot of ego just real stuff. Appreciate ya man.
Yessir glad it helps
you are the only person i watch ad completely
I appreciate that lol
This is a beautiful video, and sums up exactly what i've been thinking about for the past 2 years (I am 19 rn). Life with a meditative mind, on a dopamine detox / frequent meditation is so peaceful and is how it should be.
Bruh I have saved your picture for wallpaper for my phone. Whenever I unlock I see your face and boom lock it instantly. Lol.
lmao this guy.
I was waiting to see your update on the dopamine detox. Very good advice. Taking breaks from social media definitely helps to focus ones energy on the right things...👍🏼
Got the month 2 & 3 update coming out today!
@@aanghel 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for the update!
Only notification I clicked to watch...keep posting this more thanks for the video this detox works...
Glad it helps man
I’m working on my dopamine detox so I can manifest better. Always run to your videos!
It will definitely help with that for sure. Since more clarity during visualization practices plus more action taken on your part in whatever direction you're going in./
Wow I would like to see ur fights in future, good luck !
Aye! Thanks brother
Being more present has been a massive benefit personally and professionally. One thing I did notice is that there was a bit of an adjustment energy wise that I had to go through for some days. I resisted going to back to my go to pleasures. If I have to write my thoughts, I write. That went away frequency wise too after some days though it is insightful. It is much better to deal with thoughts and relationships. Life has improved overall and I'm looking forward to where things are going next. I find it important to remember what the consequences of my actions are. Thanks for sharing your experiences here. Please let me know when you fight next, I will be there.
Shoot it'll be a few years from now before I'm fighting professionally in the states. I'll be fighting professionally in Thailand though during these next few years
@@aanghel well I will be there in the states ..praying for your road..enjoy the days brother
Im going to try and dopamine detox in the day and then allow myself to do whatever at night. Gotta make use of this free lockdown time before I’m back to working full time when I know I’ll just be chilling in my little free time
See how that works for you
@@aanghel this shits legit, so much easier to be productive when you just completely eliminate the distractions, i have adhd too so its not easy but i spent the majority of the day exercising and meditating in the sun
I think the sleep gets better because u also reduce the blue light from phones and computers and your bodies clock and circadium rhythm is restored
Probably man
Imma do this during my social media 30 day detox ✨
ive had a note on my phone for almost 2 years to start a dopamine detox . i think imma start it soon after this video 😌
Can I come?
Do that shit. My next vid will pretty much shed light on how to do it for your life.
Definitely gonna give this a try soon. Right now tho just getting off instgram the whole day an only look at it in the night
Small steps. I feel you.
I just binge watched this whole series while walking on the treadmill, think I’ll definitely benefit immensely, but more so my kids. I’ve just asked my wife to watch the first video from this series, so she understands. Hopefully she’ll be onboard, and the whole family can start a dopemine detox. Take care, from a fellow RUclipsr.
That would be wild
I already started doing a minor detox before I even watched your series of videos. This is very interesting to me because I’ve never really watched videos on this topic nor did I realize it was a thing people do. Like you’ve said prior I do believe our brains know our solutions, it’s just up to us to try to find them and when we do find them it’s up to us finally to take action
Exactly bro
Thanks for sharing your experiences... I love your videos and I did my first cold shower....
Dope!
Great insights! I'm going to try and incorporate some of this into my life.
Do it man
Man, I am so happy to have take time to watch your video even if I shouldn't as I am doing the dopamine detox too BUT it really really gave me more sense in what I do. I am an actor , so I chose not to cut my phone entirely ( I cut off all social medias and PC using ) as I may expect phone calls or emails but I really feel like cutting everything after watching this video. Because I really wanna step up even more onto focusing on my Life. But at the same time I try to find work as an actor so I cain't cut off the phone calls and emails. How are you managing this? Man I am very blessed to follow your experiences, it really is fire. I am grateful cause again, you had a strong impact on my improvements in Life. So god bless you man, you are very inspiring. All Love
Aye good to hear you're doing it too brother. Honestly, it's all about stripping the things that aren't important and leaving in the things that are. I'll shed light on this in the next video so you can tailor this to your lifestyle.
@@aanghel Thank you brother! Will definitely check all of this. Keep the great work man!
This will be really good for me because how obsessed with RUclips I am thanks man
You spoke true gold my man
keep going bro really proud of what you are exploring and learning 🔥
Much love bro
🖤 YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON ON RUclips!!! 🖤
♥️
I'm using leechblock now to put everything, except this and some other videos, on lockdown for a while.
Wish me luck!
There you go
Finally only you could relate and explain how I feel.
Yessir!
First it's Tough to control...but slowly I am getting controlled...Thank you Brother
Yessir!
Man you really help me a lot especially with the introvert topics I’m definitely gonna try this 💯
Good shit bro
Since the quarantine, I can't fall asleep until 4am or later because of RUclips. I thought that I was the only one with this problem until my homeboy told me that another homeboy is going to sleep at 6am daily. I'm writing this just went you were talking about people unable to connect. Yes my favorite excuse is that I'm an introvert. I even feel like I'm happy that we're all quarantined because it decreases social activity and feeds my introversion (if this is even a word). But to your point I'm not meditating or looking at the wall. To the contrary of being introverted, I'm writing these really long comments to every RUclipsr that comes across my RUclips homepage which probably shows my great need to be social. I have 2 smart phones which I now realize I'm using interchangeably whenever one is charging. Actually I find myself watching 2 different RUclips videos at once because a RUclipsr is livestreaming on one phone but I want to watch or heat another RUclipsr on the other phone. I probably need a detox. I need to watch your videos more often. I know that you don't upload like you used to and I haven't watched your videos since before you hit 100K or really when you were attacking the porn/masterbation issues...back when you were mikkois. But I realized that I had an issue because of the number phones that I use and the amount of time that I spend online. I bought video games 6 months ago to help pull me away from the internet and the dust has collected on them. I have 3rd phone that I use as an alarm every hour to help keep me more present, but the alarms are my favorite songs downloaded to my phone so I get a dopamine hit every time the alarm goes off. So to hear that you're going a month without this type of dopamine sounds bizarre and almost impossible. One day or really one hour would be tough for me. The best that I'm doing now is not having an ig or twitter. I never created them and I still don't get facebook or what the big deal is. BUT RUclips is everything. Leaving RUclips is planet exit to me. Even searching RUclips for a cure to all of this stuff feeds my need for dopamine and honestly we probably enjoy the RUclips search so much, that we we don't really want to find a cure. Zoom and Onlyfans have flourished during this time which does feed a false or fake introversion (if this is even a word). I realize that I am much like or much closer to those japanese herbivore than I really know and that I am being made to believe that this is just how life is in 2020. I don't think that I'm a cold-turkey type dude. The thing with the hourly alarm on the 3rd phone was to stop dopamine intake for 1 hour every other hour. I have failed. But your video reminds me that I should consider trying again because I do want to be different and separate from the majority, from the masses. But I my hope is to become financially independent and comfortable first before tackling my dopamine dependency.
Yeah just cut all that shit out man. You'll be alright. Next video I make will elaborate how to do it for yourself.
You are an inspiration man. Thank you 🙏
Glad I can help!
at 10:16 , it really ticked. I have been saying "randomly" out loud " if you wanna be great, not good but GREAT..Obsession...is key". And now I felt it so much. Obsession is key. And doing this dopamine detox, it really is a Life changing so thank you so much again, you put me be on track with this video. Let's fucking go now!!
Yeah man without obsession, their would be no greats through out history.
@@aanghel Exactly, and that obsession is living in the subconscious mind so then greatness happens. If we feed our subconscious mind with obsession of success, health etc, then the latter will do the job and make it a reality.
Thanks so much for these videos man. The part where you were talking about introverts really resonated with me because I consider myself one. I actively avoid talking to people and get really nervous sometimes when talking to strangers. And then I start getting annoyed at myself for not talking to people and then it’s just a downward spiral 🤔🤔 think I’ll give this detox a try though
Yeah man I know how it is because I was there at one point too. See how it works for you
Hey man, this is awesome and good luck on your MMA journey, I agree for those shooting to be elite in something, this in 'Hard' mode will be incredibly helpful, most top top athletes will do a modified version of this naturally, plus they can enjoy all of this when they retire if they want to!
Just wanted to add, I'm currently doing a more 'moderate' version, and for those who maybe want a tad more balance I wanted to share what's helped me so far.
No High Dopamine activities before work, wake up and go into your morning routine whatever that is. Only thing I do, is play music during the cold shower, but no Social Media etc
When working only listen to music for 'Busy' work, that doesn't involve deep work, so things like emails, simple tasks, when doing deep work easier not to, or relaxation music.
Eat as clean as possible, goes against the grain here a bit, but highly recommend Medical Medium's stuff, tried so many diets at this point, and it makes the most sense, and has helped me heal the most so far.
Schedule time in for the 'high dopamine' activities if you're going to do them, so you can simply enjoy them guilt-free. For me, this means only after working, exercising & reading, I'd also say develop more hobbies, it's summer here in the UK so I'm playing a lot of sport with friends which is great fun & natural, leaves less them for other things. But, like once things reopen I'll still go out and enjoy myself with friends at weekends and whatnot, but simply, schedule in the time so you don't feel guilty or shame yourself about it.
Meditation & Cold Showers- Goes without saying why
Enlightenment/ Awakening- This changed my life, you feel what you described in the video 24/7 no matter what you are doing, I've seen you mention you went down that path, but no offense, probably not fully from what you have said, what awakening shows to you is who you truly are, and why happiness can never be found in anything whatsoever, but life is simply an expression of this happiness, or a celebration so to speak, therefore, we should spend as much time as possible doing what we love, and well, celebrating! In terms of teachers I recommend - Francis Lucille, Rupert Spira & Ramana Maharshi - Although the translations can be tough at times.
Finally, I recommend understanding the Enneargam it helps you understand yourself and others SO much better. Some people are much more suited naturally to the minimalistic, dopamine free life, whereas, others are suited to a different style of life so to speak, but by understanding yourself you can work with yourself instead of against yourself, and use your personality traits to your advantage.
Have a great day man!
Yeah there's different ways to do it for sure. Glad you found a way which works for you brother and I definitely went down that path fully. No if's, and's, or but's. At the end of it, you're in the same place as you were in the beginning, just with new experiences and more awareness. "Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After Enlightenment, chop wood and carry water."
would love to see u compete in mma.
Soon my dude
I love your videos will definitely be trying this soon.
Good move
Human beings truly are social creatures. That’s why in prison, solitary confinement is considered a form of torture. You’d crave human connections.....even with hardened criminals!
Yup pretty much
If you're watching this video whilst getting distracted by the RUclips Comments section or scrolling to find your next video to watch, it's a sign that you're in need of a dopamine detox.
💯
Today is my birthday, I am 18 now I got anxiety and OCD. That's helpful brother.
Glad it helps man
Thanks bro. I needed this much
I got you!
I'll start doing this from tommorow when I wake up, I'm just gonna add music instead of making a distraction because I want to work hard on that. I'm gonna allow myself to use RUclips for music beats only. No excuses
Good shit
salute.i hope your hair is getting better
It's been pretty much the same for a while my bro
Looking forward to the next video, man, you are inspirational.
What is the name of the ambient that plays in the background?
Glad I can help bro and that's a royalty free track I purchased. So you probably won't find it here on youtube
We have really many things in common with the disorders, it's really cool that you made them positive for me (Reminded me of this movie I've watched with Percy Jackson, I guess, the quote was:
"You have ADHD? That's good, you're impulsive you are reactive, you are made for this"
Fucking love that
I have no goals, I'm held back by fear. I'm obsessed with distractions.
Gotta find your purpose man
get off your phone, learn to just sit in silence
I gonna do mine in my exam holidays, just 3 days :) thank you homie
Try it out man
Well hello mr hotness glad to see ya around blessings to you ♥️✨✨♥️
Aye much love
aanghel. ❤️ahhhh and you also mr hotness 😉
Though i am on nofap and on day 40 the problem is that im being lazy the whole day by sitting on the phone and watching videos that has nothing to do with me,instagramming,facebooking and being lazy all round.i really think i need a dopamine detox as well... .
Do it man
Bro. Fist of all. You can not imagine how exicited I become when I saw a notification from your channel. It's fkn insane! Second... How about video on motivation, how to get shit done sometimes when struggling?
P.S. Can't wait to see you as professional fighter. It was my dream for years, but I didin't have balls to follow it. All support for you... the chillest dude I've ever seen. Much love!
Hmm motivation is usually only needed when you're not doing what you're truly meant to be doing. Discipline is what's needed and that only comes either through sheer willpower or through having purpose and being fully dedicated to it
I appreciate the support in my pursuit! How old are you now?
@@aanghel 25 bro. Working some shitty job, living in an apartment with my girlfriend couple of years, and life just passing away... "Survival mode" literally.
Hey aanghel i been doin nofap for a month now and on god i feel so much more energy. Ur vids are sick keep em coming
Good shit man~
Bruh just wanna say thanks for your videos. Being on twitter and reddit the last few days have enraged me. Watching people morally posture and spread their nonsense on these issues going on right now. I need to get away from it.
Yeah not need for that man
Great video brother
Much love my brother
waiting for that..great video
Yessir!
thank you for making videos
I got you
Thank you for motivation!
I got you!
Thank you for the video dude you are amazing bro
Glad I can help bro
Thank you
I got you
How long do you plan on keeping this up?
It's become the normal so Probably for the rest of my life. I'll update again on month 2 and month 3
aanghel You’re a badass.
This is next level
Indeed
You saved me with that advertisement
Should i still play an instrument? Ive just picked up guitar and it’s really fun, probably releasing a lot of dopamine
Dude, do it. It might take you in a direction you never would've thought
As long you get the dopamine from a natural source its completely ok
I want to see one of your martial art fights!!
Yo me too
lol but soon my bro
Hey man this is some really good content. So I’ve gotta ask, when you’re not working or training, what do you do with yourself? Other than sleep and eat of course, do you just sit there and chill?
Meditation, self reflection, visualization
Allaahumma Baarik Lahaa...u r..Gem...SubhaanaAllaah how can I talk to u..In Sha Allaah....m from Fairfax Virginia...I am not able to access the skool community....
Email me inshaAllah therealaanghel@gmail.com
You’re some man! How do you stay disciplined? I’ve went on spells of atleast dopamine dieting but I just find myself down the rabbit hole again. I feel so enlightened on a dopamine fast/diet but after a while I feel like I deserved to over dose on PlayStation and drinking etc. I’ve a very addictive personality that I’m taking care of and I’m smart enough to know what feels good for me but just struggle to stay conscious and disciplined. You’re a top dawg, fan from Ireland!
Sound just like me! I know what’s good for me, it’s a long journey; don’t expect to pile everything on take one thing away at a time. For example, delete Instagram and use everything else as normal for a week. Then delete RUclips or limit the time for a week. Then set time limits for your phone etc etc.
Man having an addictive personality is fine if you can channel that into your purpose. That's how you have discipline, by having purpose. Purpose is that thing you're willing to dedicate your life to.
aanghel much love bro
I should try out dopamine detox someday. I bet it’s great to live a life like that!
Without a doubt. Try it with the guidelines coming up in the next video
Great video brother. Was hesitant to delete my ig and since I felt hesitant that means I had to get rid of it. 🙏🏻 don’t know why I was hesitant.. maybe fomo? Idk but I’m ready to be 100% focused on my life and done comparing myself to other people .
Definitely fomo. Good move on your part brother
Hi man! I have a question about cold showers. I have been taking a lot of pre workouts before my workout sessions but lately i feel just tired all the time and the pre workouts are not effective anymore, do you think cold showers can work as a natural pre workout?
For the most part yeah. I'd check your sleep quality, nutrition, and training volume though. if you feel tired all the time, might be time for a deload week.
Bro your vids are dope man
Aye I'm glad they help man
