that in this video we are going to talk about what is a dopamine detox why i need it right why you
might need it and what it is going to do for you i also want to share with you who a dopamine detox
is best for so listen up because that might be you and then stay tuned until the end of this video
so i can give you the brain tip strategy which is how you can best use your dopamine detox
all right let's dig in what is a dopamine detox a dopamine detox is when you figure out
where your brain is getting the dopamine drips and the dopamine floods the deluges
and then you have to turn off the spigot so what we're talking about is identifying if instagram
if youtube definitely pornography sexual thoughts or fantasy certain people certain places that you
know and you start to build your self-awareness like oh my gosh my brain's getting a little hit
from this person from this activity from this environment and when you figure out all the
places that your brain is getting the hits then you stay away for a time frame so you've probably
heard that someone go some people go monk mode on their no fap journey they decide they're
not going to watch pornography they're not going to masturbate and they're not going to have sex
and so that's the ultimate dopamine detox you're not giving your brain dopamine in a sexual way at
all and you actually try to figure out the other ways your brain is getting dopamine and don't give
your brain dopamine in those ways either video games like we already talked about social media
you find all the unhealthy ways that you've been checking out and escaping and getting
these dopamine hits and then you stop it and now why would you do that you do that because it very
quickly helps to unwire the brain pattern that is bringing you back to sex for dopamine and start
rewiring your brain so that it can function in a healthy way learning to regulate itself
and regulate your mood take the edge off of anxiety figure out how to cure your boredom
in healthy ways and so when you figure that out and your brain's unwiring and rewiring quickly
this journey the pain and the withdrawal can be shortened and you can get from where you are to
where you want to be more quickly and your brain will it might be challenging more challenging
for a shorter amount of time but you won't be going back to those little tiny drips and those
little floods and the big floods and having your brain go in and out of this unwiring and rewiring
process that's what can make this process seem so long and arduous for so many people okay so
the title of this video is to leave basically leave sex behind so that you can really end up
enjoying it so for some people having to stay away from sex for a little while can be really powerful
even if you have a partner even if you're in a relationship it can be confusing for your brain
to go no no no we're not going to think about sex we're not going to watch sex we're not going to
look at sexy images but there's my partner now i'm supposed to turn it on and have sex with my
partner and it's confusing and my partner's not not that excited about this whole process so when
you give yourself a dopamine detox and you include sex with your partner it takes the sex out of your
life and now you have to figure out life without sex at all and that can be really really powerful
it can create more longing between you and your partner you know what they say absence makes the
heart grow fonder right that's what we're talking about here building intimacy with your partner
getting excited to have healthy sexuality with your partner after this dopamine detox
so okay so that is the brain tip strategy that a detox might be the best technique
for you right now there's a ton of science behind it that shows that it can be effective so
think about if you find yourself going back to these thoughts and kind of trickling that dopamine
by having sexual thoughts or checking people out or going on instagram just for a little tiny hit
you might be best suited by a filter that just goes nope i'm not going there at all and when you
