Become A Dopamine Beast

[BlessedLion]

Hey Guys,

 

Recently I made a video on Dopamine Addiction as I find it to be more relative than ever. I'm finding that even though this topic is Personal Development 101 (habits & addictions), these fucking algorithms have just gotten better and better and we really need to fight back.

It's all Dopamine! The enemy has mastered our primal desires and is using them keep us addicted to their platforms. 

In this video I take a warriors mentality towards it all. If you find it helpful , let me know. I'm open to feedback as I'm still working on this channel (my life purpose).

Enjoy (if you watch)!

At a certain point I went through a Andrew Huberman style hyper-rigid phase where I demonized all this "dopamine" stuff.

I was much better off taking a more chill approach. The "enemy" frame wasn't good for me. It added guilt to the problem. Double problem.

Since then I haven't taken anything related to dopamine too seriously. I saw it mostly as something that everybody talked about, yet in their daily lives nobody was actually able to control it in the long-run.

 

AT THE SAME TIME, reading your post made me wonder once again about what life was like before the things you mentioned (quoted below), and how much it may be worth it to cut some more aggressively. A 3-month experiment would be a good test. Maybe I'll be crazy enough to do it.

Thanks for the inspiration, I guess!

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I totally feel that, I also had times where i was so fed up with the guilt that I just enjoyed it in a balanced way.

 

But I really realized recently how deep this issue is, at least for me, it's like being okay with "some" poison, and since i cut these things out (by the Grace of God honestly) i am so much more stable, happy, and wise (insights flow much better) 

 

So I'd recommend giving it a shot if you feel called, but maybe try to wean off and see it in a large time frame. Also, guilt, shame etc are never healthy. I probably could've added more self-love in the video. Anyway, thanks!

 

Best

Great work!  

Great wisdom there. It is essential to have structure in life. People are addicted for many reasons but not having structure is one of the main reasons.

I wouldn't mind chatting with you one on one about this topic. This struggle is a very deep one for me and I aim to write the book on it. (as a project for myself to "solve" it.)
