I don't know when it started, but we've all changed. We can no longer be quiet for 5 minutes, we can no longer feel happiness. The first thing we do when we wake up every day is grab our phones. We watch videos while eating, listen to music while walking. Every day, we seem to be pursuing happiness through games, alcohol, sex, and short videos. But in reality, we are being led by the nose

by something called dopamine. It's the driving force behind human survival, evolution, and reproduction. But

now it's causing us anxiety and depression, becoming the root of some of the pain modern people experience. So, for the next 30 days, I will completely quit all behaviors that produce dopamine. I'll abstain from sex and sugar, avoid junk videos, short videos, and music. In short, I'll quit anything that gives me pleasure. Let's see what changes happen

music. In short, I'll quit anything that gives me pleasure. Let's see what changes happen to my body and mind after 30 days of dopamine detox. Unlike previous mornings, this morning, after waking up and not being able to look at my phone, I didn't know what to do. I really wanted to check social media and my friends, updates, and then scroll through videos. I'm actually doing this challenge because I've seen many

foreign bloggers doing AMDOX, which is a dopamine reset challenge. In just 7 days, they really changed their lives. I'm curious if I will also become a different person after 30 days. Like previous challenges, the first day of the challenge was harder than I

30 days. Like previous challenges, the first day of the challenge was harder than I imagined. Wow, I'm so bored. I'm filled with boredom and anxiety, and I keep uncontrollably

imagined. Wow, I'm so bored. I'm filled with boredom and anxiety, and I keep uncontrollably reaching for my phone while working. But my phone is like this now. I've set

screen time limits, and now, except for messaging apps, I can't open anything, because I feel like my hand is really not under my conscious control. Touching my phone has become an automatic reaction. When I experienced emotional fluctuations, I subconsciously reached for my phone, as if I were being held captive. To be honest, I underestimated the difficulty of this challenge. A brain that has been nurtured by dopamine for so long, once deprived

this challenge. A brain that has been nurtured by dopamine for so long, once deprived of that stimulation, feels completely empty. I used to listen to music while showering, but today was the first time I showered in complete silence, and it felt so strange.

I took the most boring shower ever today. Afterwards, to kill time, I opened a book I bought a long time ago. I recognized all the words, but I couldn't understand what the book was saying at all. My eyes saw the words, but my brain couldn't process them. Now I feel like I have nothing to do again. I

just cleaned the house, and today's time feels twice as long as usual. I don't

know what to do. How to kill time has become the key to this challenge, because only by keeping myself busy can I forget the withdrawal symptoms caused by the lack of dopamine. Wait a minute, someone might mistakenly think I'm listening to music, but I'm actually watching this photography tutorial. And today, I spent a day without dopamine, and it was so boring. But at the same time, I found that my concentration has

become exceptionally high. For the past few days, because there was nothing to distract me, it allowed me to analyze, and life actually became more fulfilling. The time I used to spend on entertainment is now all free. I did so many things today, and what shocked me the most is that I realized that many of my behaviors are not actually under my control, but rather the brain's automatic operation. Imagine, if there is

a carrot and a chocolate bar on the table in front of you right now, what would you choose? If we don't think about it, our instincts will make us choose the chocolate, which provides more dopamine. as the driving force behind all human behavior, in primitive times, would prompt us to constantly search for. Food and resources are essential.

Without dopamine, there would be no human civilization. However, in today's affluent society, we no longer have to worry about basic necessities, yet our brains are still stuck in the primitive settings of tens of thousands of years ago. In the past, dopamine was the driving force that helped humans survive, but now it has become our addiction. Watching short

videos, movies, and playing games all give you instant gratification, but a few hours later, you fall into emptiness again. Therefore, you crave stronger stimulation, constantly chasing dopamine within your body, forming a vicious cycle. This is why you can't stop after just one bite.

It's not about quitting dopamine, but rather learning to control it. As described in the book, Dopamine Nation, the areas in our brain that process pleasure and pain are actually the same. It's like a scale. When we add short videos, movies, games, and other

the same. It's like a scale. When we add short videos, movies, games, and other behaviors to one side, releasing a large amount of dopamine, the brain adds pain factors to the other side to maintain balance. But this isn't a precise balancing system, it always makes you slightly more miserable than the equilibrium point, and then gradually recovers. Simply

put, the more pleasure you experience, the more corresponding, or even stronger, pain you will endure. Then, to escape the pain, it drives you to seek new stimulation, such as

endure. Then, to escape the pain, it drives you to seek new stimulation, such as binge -watching, smoking, or continuing to play games. Thus, pain and pleasure constantly ebb and flow, the scale continuously tilting, correcting, and tilting again, forming an endless cycle until the body and mind are exhausted and collapsed. Of course, I later found a solution to dopamine addiction, but that was much later. I discovered that not watching short videos every

morning actually felt quite fulfilling, and my mind was particularly clear. But today should be the most difficult day. Actually, all the withdrawal symptoms basically peaked after four days, and then subsided. And I had experienced phone withdrawal before, so this time it should be

then subsided. And I had experienced phone withdrawal before, so this time it should be easier for me. As I expected, in the following days, I personally felt my condition gradually improve from the initial slump, and I felt more and more relaxed. My friends

said that this is a challenge worth trying for everyone. Initially, I just had a casual attitude, wanting to make a video about the withdrawal symptoms. Although the process wasn't as smooth as I hoped and was full of temptations, when I persevered little by little, I realized that it was truly changing my life. I sincerely hope you watch the video to the end, because after only a week, I had an unprecedented experience

in my life, but clarity and strength far exceeding anything before. First of all, my physical condition improved dramatically. Before, I would be out of breath after running just one kilometer, but now I feel like I've been recharged. I have boundless energy. I've already

run three kilometers on a mountain road, and I'm not tired at all. Although my

legs and feet are starting to ache, I feel like I could still run if I wanted to. I feel like I could run five kilometers in one go. I've

never experienced this state before. It's amazing. I can't believe that in just one week I could feel my physical limits being broken, and I'm not tired at all. Later,

I checked some information and found that this wasn't an illusion, because after a few days, a person's dopamine levels will reach their peak, which is why I suddenly felt a surge of energy. Some people might be curious about how to overcome temptation. This

time it was quite easy because I was abstaining from many things. Actually, a person's desires are usually ignited when they see something, such as when you scroll through some suggestive videos, comics, or encounter some stimulating things in real life. But these past few days, I didn't watch anything, and I rarely went out. External stimuli were almost zero.

Another point is to eat as little as possible. Don't eat too much or too much sugar. As the old saying goes, a day without warmth is a day of

much sugar. As the old saying goes, a day without warmth is a day of lust and indulgence. I've already run 4 .7 kilometers today. Most people on the internet would stop here, but I wanted to see what would happen if I continued. So

I still get up at 8am every day, eat, exercise, read, work, and hike. It

turns out my persistence was right, because the further I went into the challenge, the more I realized that this was just the beginning. Now I feel inexplicably happy every morning when I wake up. I haven't done anything, yet I feel very satisfied, and I sleep soundly at night. Before going to bed, I even look forward to the next day. Longtime viewers should know that I'm a severe anxiety sufferer, the kind with

next day. Longtime viewers should know that I'm a severe anxiety sufferer, the kind with physical symptoms, but now I'm not so anxious anymore. I feel that it's true, as long as you close your door and live your own life, eat well and sleep well, that's enough. Many of life's troubles come from too much external stimulation and too much contact with other people. Now I feel like I've found the feeling of a

little snake. Just the wind blowing on my face and breathing in fresh air makes

little snake. Just the wind blowing on my face and breathing in fresh air makes me very satisfied. Looking at the sun, even though there are dark clouds today, I can see a little twilight on the other side, and listening to the wind and the bird song, my heart feels inexplicably full.

I once thought that people should constantly pursue happiness, that there is no life without pleasure, but now I feel differently. Of

course, the temptations still exist, but they have become more subtle. Sometimes when I see an advertisement or a picture, my mind automatically plays images, making me want to indulge.

This moment of anticipation also releases a lot of dopamine, but at the same time, this anticipation also brings pain. So, my solution is to shift my thoughts, to stop thinking about it, or, more directly, to actively embrace it, to exercise or take a cold shower. I'm not kidding, because when you actively embrace it, your internal balance, that

cold shower. I'm not kidding, because when you actively embrace it, your internal balance, that scale, will automatically tip towards happiness, making you happier. That day, I was sitting in front of the computer, intending to play on my phone for a while, but before the thought even fully formed, I had already opened the document. Before, whenever I opened the computer, my mind would wander, thinking about playing games for a while, eating something

first, and then doing the work later. When working, I even had to force myself, setting a 25 -minute alarm, working for 25 minutes and then taking a break. But

now I can easily work for 2 hours straight. I feel like if this chair wasn't uncomfortable, I could sit here indefinitely, and I can easily enter a state of complete focus, easily working until evening. At this moment, I felt a long -lost sense of peace, neither excitement nor emptiness, just simply enjoying the present moment.

I suddenly felt, and...

I know you might think it's absurd, but the only way for you to know if what I'm saying is correct is for you to try it yourself. I don't

know how to describe this feeling. My feeling right now is that I can suddenly see things clearly. How should I describe my previous senses? My previous vision, hearing, and brain were chaotic, unclear, very muddled, but recently, this feeling of chaos has disappeared. Everything

has become incredibly clear, and my mind is completely relaxed. I started thinking about questions I had never thought about before. Why did I become the way I am today?

What will I become in the future? What am I pursuing? Is my so -called happiness real? Is this what I wanted? Thirdly, my life has

happiness real? Is this what I wanted? Thirdly, my life has entered a cycle. Waking up in the morning, hiking, eating, going out, running, coming home, showering, working, reading, eating again, waking up, eating, going out, running home, eating again, showering, sleeping, and repeating endlessly. The third week was very different from the first

two weeks. I felt like I was becoming a superhero. I could control what I

two weeks. I felt like I was becoming a superhero. I could control what I wanted to do and then let my body execute the commands. Just now, lying in bed, I suddenly thought of a question. Why did I used to grab my phone first thing when I woke up? Looking back now, I'm even a little scared, because I feel that the human body's daily dopamine quota is fixed. Playing with your phone

and watching short videos in the morning will release your entire day's dopamine, and then you won't be able to do anything else. They say 21 days is enough to change a person. Starting this week, I've felt that my dopamine reward circuit is shutting down, my brain is starting to return to normal, and everything that used to require effort to borrow has become easy and controllable. I want to apologize for my ignorance

before. I actually heard about the concept of 100 -day foundation building a long time

before. I actually heard about the concept of 100 -day foundation building a long time ago. What does it mean? 100 -day foundation building is somewhat like borrowing dopamine for

ago. What does it mean? 100 -day foundation building is somewhat like borrowing dopamine for 100 days. Of course, it's not exactly the same. Before, I thought this was pure

100 days. Of course, it's not exactly the same. Before, I thought this was pure nonsense, but now I think I was too ignorant. Because these past few days have discovered something very strange. I can read for 4 or 5 hours straight without getting distracted, whereas before, even 10 minutes felt difficult. I'm even considering whether to make a video about the one -punch man training method, which is running 10 kilometers every day

for 7 consecutive days, and doing 100 push -ups and 100 sit -ups every day.

It might sound a little outrageous, but starting from the fourth week, I found that even if I didn't do anything, I can feel satisfied even without doing anything. Taking

a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the sunlight on my face, I can feel it all. Happiness, even something as small as tidying up the house, warms my heart.

it all. Happiness, even something as small as tidying up the house, warms my heart.

I suddenly feel that simply being alive is something worth celebrating. Dopamine isn't necessarily a bad thing. The key is who is in control. I think the reason many people

bad thing. The key is who is in control. I think the reason many people feel their lives have changed after resetting their dopamine levels isn't because they've given up something, but because they've regained control of their attention. This is something I've only recently understood. If you want to understand a person or see what your future self will

understood. If you want to understand a person or see what your future self will become, you only need to look at where you spend your time. If you spend your time on indulgence, you will become an indulgent person in the future. If you

spend your time on work or your ideals, then you will achieve something in the world. We humans actually have energy, and this energy is our attention. In other words,

world. We humans actually have energy, and this energy is our attention. In other words, where you put your attention, that's where your achievements will be. My day now is equivalent to two or three days before, and I'm more efficient, and my mind is incredibly clear. I'm like a superhero. Now, except for eating and exercising, all my time

incredibly clear. I'm like a superhero. Now, except for eating and exercising, all my time is spent on creation and work. I really wasted too much time before. Today is

the 30th day, and it is at this moment that I truly realize how foolish my past self was. Life doesn't necessarily have to be about seeking pleasure, because after every moment of pleasure, fate secretly keeps a record. Those things that bring instant happiness are slowly stealing our future. I originally only wanted to try it out, but now that the challenge is over, I know I may never go back. I no longer

need external stimulation, and I no longer need to use indulgence to escape emptiness.

Perhaps this is.
