Uncle C, back in the office and today I'm going to be diving into a topic that's slightly
trending right now. And it comes down to the dopamine detox. Now, here's the deal, I realized
this is trending, I realized there's other content creators talking about this. But since
I live this exact lifestyle to the exact tee and I try to practice this for years and years,
and I've basically every single rock solid foundation of willpower and drive and focus
that I've really built the cornerstone of my life on when it comes to business, helping
men, helping men with women, literally everything that comes into life. I use this every day.
And I feel like it's foolish of me not to talk about it. Because the increases in life
that it will give you as well as the different type of perspective that I have regarding
willpower, I think is going to help propel your life forward. So before we begin, I wanted
to quickly announce that registration for my brand new masculine behavioral things therapy
masterclass is now available. So if you want to know the tell secret the tell story, the
tell tale that I have that has helped many, many men completely conquer their masculinity
and dating lives forever. I want you to go down below and register for that masterclass.
I run that live stream at multiple times throughout the week, if you can catch one of them. It's
a free presentation that I put together for you. But moving on what is a dopamine detox?
And how will this actually help you increase willpower? Well, you see, fellas, the dopamine
detox is really the detoxification or the fasting or the pushing back from the pleasure
hormone dopamine is the hormone that gives yourself pleasure. Now, the funny thing is
that your brain will try to find this pleasure doing
anything. And the reason why so many men are screaming,
hey, it's so hard to meet women. Or hey, it's so hard for me to get anything done in business.
It's so hard for me to focus in on my studies. throughout school. It's strictly because the
brain has to flags and signals to receive dopamine without doing anything. Let me explain.
So here's the deal. Right now we live in a very push button easy society, okay? extremely
easy. If you want a really hot women to play with and fool around with for that night,
you don't have to do anything much more than open up a Mac Book computer screen, go to
www.something.com and see some amazing fingered woman that is synthetic, and now you're having
sex with your hand. We live in a society where instead of putting in the work to maybe accomplish,
you know, let's say studying where you have a big test coming up in school, where your
brain would typically get that dopamine in that spike. When you accomplish that test
and see your grade. It's a hell of a lot easier to just grab Instagram and start scrolling
through and see a lot of models or see what everybody's up to are see this rush of different
media. We live in a society that's easy. We live in a society that's push button. And
the reason why men are getting weaker the reason why it's so hard for even myself in
the beginning compared to now to actually make progress and get I want in life is really
just because it's way too easy not to do the work and still get by. Because you see everybody
wants it push button. Everybody wants it easy. And I was that person for a long time too.
What I mean by this is I wish that I could focus in on some sort of tactic, some sort
of strategy to make up for my lack of willpower to make up for my lack of goal to make up
for my lack of grit. And because of that, I was always more depressed.
In the long run, I was always searching for the next shiny object and never actually able
to buckle in on what it is that I wanted. You see this a lot in fitness people try to
get fit, and before actually realizing what they have to do with controlling all of the
micro systems in their life. For example, if you want to get fit. The first system you
have to control is let's say your split, how many days per week are you going to exercise
and then within that split, you're going to have to pick the exact exercises and the exact
workouts within that system. There's another subsystem, you have to design the individual
workout with The exact amount of sets and reps within that one workout and then another
subsystem above that, or a microsystem. Above that is now you have to focus in on just one
set of one rep every single time you get underneath that barbell or ever see every single time
you pick up that weight. The problem is, is people can't focus enough to control all of
the subsystems. And what happens is
when you start making one excuse, when you start giving your brain one reason to have
balance or to slack, the whole foundation starts to crumble. Now, people will often
tell you this, people will tell you in life that you need
balance, they will say that you need balance in order
to feel fulfilled or to feel happier, they'll tell you, it's good to work, but it's not
good to work too much. It's good to play, but it's not good to play too much. Very rarely.
Will anybody ever sit you down and look you in the eyes and say listen, it's really really
good to go all in on just one thing and dedicate all your time into that so that way you're
a superstar at what you want to become great at. Nobody says that. Here's why. Balance
is the 99% People's excuse for mediocracy basically, it's okay to be average. It's okay
to get by it's okay to just go with the flow. Now I was this guy for a lot of years. I'm
not trying to say I'm all high and mighty and above somebody because I'm going to show
you many, many examples of when I was trying to build myself and I was playing this exact
same game. This right here is the one thing that keeps most people stuck because they're
listening to opinions of people that also have no prior success in kicking ass. But
yet, these are the people that they're listening to. And when it comes to mediocracy, it's
okay. It's okay to be averaged. And here's the deal. This just doesn't work. If it did
work, I would tell you it would work. But the thing is, is that it doesn't, because
when one of the traits goes downhill for your willpower, the whole cookie starts to crumble.
Here's what happens when I'm doing great with retention will not want a long term streak
when I'm just really laser locked and focus in that animalistic senses. Coming out of
me where I can laser in and focus and get a lot of work done. Maybe it's 20 days, 30
days, 40 days. If I relapse if I stop doing that, the whole cookie crumbles, it does not
work, I start to get more sluggish. I start to tell myself, it's okay to eat bad food,
I start to tell myself it's okay to scroll through Instagram and start looking at these
models that I probably shouldn't be. And the whole foundation of the house that I built
with strong willpower starts to crumble, because now the brain is in dopamine mode, the brain
has an on and off switch. You're either on with your work, you're either on with your
foundation, you're either on with the stuff that you're doing to get to where you want
to be, or you're not. And the thing is, is the brain can only do one thing at one time.
When you tell yourself Hey, I'm going to multitask and I'm going to work a little bit you know,
on the weekends, I'm going to drink a little bit Think about it. Let's say you want to
crush it in business or you want to you want to crush it just with with your personal brand
with anything that you're doing, crush it with your career. Well, what happens is that
if you're The type of guy where you tell yourself balance is okay. What happens is then the
two days a week you're going to be drinking alcohol. And two days a week, times 52 weeks
a year. If you tell yourself it's okay to booze on the weekends, you just lost 104 days
if I work seven days a week, for 52 weeks a year, I now have 365 days, meaning that
your work day or excuse me, your whole work year you only have 261 days where I have 365
This won't work. This keeps you mediocre. And this is right here is the dividing line.
Two kicking ass. So here's the deal. Here's what I noticed when I
when I say the whole house crumbles, what would happen is when I would tell myself
that balance is okay. The rest of my life would crumble.
I would say it's okay to get drunk and have some fun and let loose. But then guess what
happened all of Sunday morning was spent in a hangover and that would essentially kill
my productivity on Monday. And not only that on Friday and Saturday. nights when I was
trying to dial in my diet and get my fitness really great. Well now I'm eating pizza at
two and 3am with friends and I'm talking to girls that I have no business talking to.
It literally is just a downhill spiral a downhill battle, your brain will find this dopamine
and you will start to love it. You don't think I like going to the bar? You don't think I
like? You know flirting with a bunch of women that I have no business flirting with? You
don't think I like indulging in some of the lower behaviors in life and eating bad food
and all of that kind of shit? Of course I do. But the thing is, is you have to ask yourself,
are you finding joy? Or are you searching for pleasure? If you're searching for pleasure,
it's going to be very, very hard to ever find true long term joy in your life. So this pleasure
here's what you got to understand your brain, my brain everybody's brain. Kim Kardashian
is brain Kanye West brain, Donald Trump's brain. The brain loves pleasure. It doesn't
matter who you are, the brain will find the path of least resistance to get that pleasure.
Why work really hard for 12 hours to potentially find a client for your business and get paid
and then receive that dopamine, when you can just scroll on Instagram and look and receive
the same pleasure hit your brain doesn't know any better. If you find yourself having productivity
issues, this is why. So your brain will remove the work if necessary. And when you start
to slack, the whole the whole foundation crumbles. And I can't emphasize that enough. It's like
everything is interlinked. So what I realized is you essentially have to go God Mode. God
Mode is essentially when you turn into a monk, you remove yourself from the playing field
in a lot of different ways. So that way, when you can come back into it, you come back at
a place where you're much stronger, much more grounded, much more congruent in who you need
to be. For some people, this might take a few months. For others. This might take years.
But what you have to understand is you have to know where to stick your priorities. There's
a time in life to focus in on yourself. There's a time in life to focus in on women and master
your dating. There's A time in life to really focus in on business. There's a time to grow
spiritually and figure out what it is that you're on this earth for. It's very hard to
do that when you're brainwashed and distracted when you're distracted with the lower level
behaviors when you're distracted with the man made creations like the apps and the cell
phones and the refined sugar and the pre packaged goods. This is why so many people can't get
anything done because if the house if the foundation of the house is starting to crack,
the entire house is going to eventually collapse it's an all or nothing switch. When you go
monk mode, this is my suggestion to you remove all sugar and remove all pre packaged food
and pre package you know man made stuff. You know my diet consists of like meat and green
vegetables. And I occasionally will throw in some avocados or some whole eggs or stuff
like that but it's very, very minimalistic, you know, I include olive oil to bake my food
or to make it but other than that I try to remove all of the prepackaged garbage, all
of the stuff is filled with preservatives and chemicals and just can rewire your brain
in a different way that it shouldn't be wired. The reason for this is because this artificial
food, this fake food is not only processed in a machine, but it has high amounts of sugar
and carbohydrates. When you spike insulin like that, it sends dopamine signals to your
brain that go through the roof. This is why oftentimes, when people want to get very,
very lean, or to single digit body fat, the one thing that they can always say is, Hey,
I can never give up sugar. It's very hard for me to give up sugar. It's very hard for
me to stay on my diet and get rid of all of these processed carbohydrates. It's because
the brain is solely addicted to it. The last is just the
known jerkin. You got to cut out the dirty websites. They
make you slow, they make you lethargic. They make you reliant on synthetic sex in this
fake world that we now live in where there is no human to human connection. It's strictly
for the thrill of how fast you can either hook up or potentially just see Someone in
your bedroom at night with a bottle of vino not healthy, the next is going to be alcohol.
Because if one of these is broken, you got to realize like the
whole cookie crumbles if you drink now you have two days a week where you're hungover.
And that's also going to affect your productivity that Monday morning because your brain is
so going to be in a fog, which is eventually going to tell yourself that, hey, it's
okay to eat that pizza when you're hammered and
you have no willpower good making decisions. So you're just going to indulge, what's going
to happen then is you're probably going to be hooking up with women you shouldn't be
hooking up with you're going to be doing things that is going to set you back and it's a downhill
spiral. The obvious one should be drugged. If you have a dependency on hitting the ball,
if you have a dependency on doing random lines of stuff that you shouldn't be doing lines
of this all works together, because you got to realize there's pleasure in winning. There's
pleasure in getting an A plus on the tests that you've been studying for so long for
there's pleasure in actually having your first 20 or 30 Km month in business. business, there's
pleasure in all of the there's pleasure in approaching a girl completely sober, realizing
you had a great connection and then actually meeting up with her and having like a good
genuine interaction. And if you do have sex, it actually feels real. You got to realize
these pleasures add up. If you're able to delay the gratification God Mode is when you
actually understand that this man made world might be the one thing that setting you back,
and if we can get back to natural roots, you're gonna crush it. So you might be asking, okay,
so am I going to be miserable? If I do this, or am I going to be happy? Am I going to feel
like this dopamine detox propelled me forward? Or am I going to be set back when I see all
of my friends on Snapchat getting drunk when I see all of my friends out at the bar and
having fun and I'm not there? Here's what you have to ask yourself. You have to ask
yourself, what do you actually want in this life? And what are your priorities and chances
are fellas, you got to ask yourself, are my friends that I'm seeing every weekend actually
happy? Or is it all for the camera? Is it all for the selfie? Is it all for the angle?
Or are they dying inside too and they just don't understand how to get out. Because here's
the deal you like, people think I would be miserable people think I would not have any
of this figured out. Or people would think that I live just a very basic life or something
like that. I mean, I have a whiteboard, I have my business, I help men that's like what
I do. But my my happiness levels are through the roof. And it's because I don't have the
mass majority of problems that 99% of men have. I don't deal with hangovers. I don't
get brain fog from jerking it. I'm not lethargic because I'm hitting the ball and have a bunch
of alcohol in my system. Right and I know that I'm clean because I'm not screwing women
that I shouldn't be screwing anymore. That's long gone. That whole lifestyle that I thought
would make me happy essentially just killed me and don't think I haven't done it before.
Don't think I haven't played both sides. This the reason why vlog Why give them This information
is because I know what it's like to have nothing put together. But try to appear in the public
eyes what most people do as what should be happy. And I know what it's like to totally
turn a different path and have a different mindset to be able to give back this value
enough to show you the way how it can be done. So fellas, I would highly recommend this dopamine
detox if you want to crush it in life, if you want to have rock solid will rock solid
confidence. If you want to build an amazing body, you want to get better with women, you
want to do anything. It's going to come from removing the simple pleasures and cutting
out the 99% of people that are behaving that way. The problem is that the 99% have his
health issues, credit card debt, women drama and pregnancy with people who they shouldn't
be getting pregnant. If you want to eliminate that and just crush it, dude like this is
ridiculously key.
