🚫🍻🚬☕️📱📺💦🔥🚽 Waking up abruptly, the decision was made to make a change. I had heard about this thing called a “dopamine fast,” where you abstain from all pleasurable activities for a set period of time in order to reset your brain’s reward system. I was skeptical, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. 🚫🍻🚬☕️📱📺💦🔥🚽 I set a goal for myself: 30 days of no alcohol, no cigarettes, no coffee, no phones, no television, no sex, no masturbation, and no going to the toilet for pleasure. It was going to be a real challenge, but I was determined to see it through. 🚫🍻🚬☕️📱📺💦🔥🚽 The first few days of the dopamine fast were absolute torture! But as the days go on, something strange starts to happen. Suddenly, I’m feeling more alert and awake. My skin starts to clear up and my breath doesn’t smell like an ashtray. It’s almost like I’m a new man. 🚫🍻🚬☕️📱📺💦🔥🚽 As the days went on, I started to notice some unexpected side effects. I was sleeping better, had more energy and concentration was easier. 🚫🍻🚬☕️📱📺💦🔥🚽 #DopamineFast #Sobriety #ChallengeAccepted #HealthyLiving #NoBoozeNoCoffeeNoMasturbation (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_O-rDyc9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HIPPEST JOINT IN PORTO Last night I went to Maus Habitos aka Bad Habits (not mouse house as I originally assumed the translation) and it was true everyone there was exhibiting some bad habit of one kind or another - two harpy like types got into a glass breaking fight lots of “smoking” and more. It’s kind of like what Soho was like in the old days. I was fascinated. When I get back I’ll start my dopamine fasting regimen.

Hey Ladies! I gave up social media apps on my phone for Lent*

*NOTE: No, I am not religious ... but since then is that a reason not to celebrate LENT!? (I just love celebrating Ash Wednesday because what is more goth than putting ashes on your face? So this year I'm taking it a step further.)

ANYWAY I decided 'for Lent' to give up social media apps and games on my phone because I am getting some SERIOUS screen fatigue and let's face it .... social media's like crack for dopamine spikes and we all know CRACK IS WHACK. (Is this a #dopaminefast??) (there's probably no such thing)

So it's partly to prove to myself I can chill on the social media stuff, and [moreso] to give my eyes a fucking break (only hot girls have extreme sensory processing disorder).

~ However ~ I will still be checking in on Tumblr/Discord periodically from my laptop on weekends or the occasional weekday that I don't fall asleep immediately after work.

And let's be real, we know the second it hits midnight on Easter (aka the end of Lent) this bitch will be immediately redownloading Tumblr/Discord onto her phone.

As always my posts will still be going out on auto queue every day :) And it will not change my response time to asks/submissions because I'm garbage and only reply to those from my laptop as it is.

Happy Lent everyone and let's hope for more migraine-free days this month (6 weeks? however many weeks?)

See You Space Cockbutt....

Can Dopamine Fasting Bring You ANY Benefits in 2020?

I've been reaping dopamine fasting benefits for years.

It started when I realized that contrast is good for me.

For example, after I hadn't seen my girlfriend for several days, seeing her felt better.

But recently, I've been experimenting with taking dopamine fasting to extremes.

Today, I'll break down how dopamine fasting changed my life and can change yours.

I also made a video to help you remember these principles fast. (Combining text-based and auditory information helps retention.) Here it is:

What is dopamine?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter linked to motivation.

When we experience pleasure, our neurons release dopamine.

This is how neuro-associative conditioning happens: we associate pleasure with that experience.

And we want this experience more in the future.

Dopamine fasting benefits

Our bodies release too much dopamine today.

This overstimulation comes from social media, technology, sex, food, and so on.

And it causes symptoms such as addiction, lack of motivation, and brain fog.

Dopamine fasting is about reducing the amount of stimulation, hence the amount of dopamine.

And when we do so, it helps reduce all these bad symptoms.

The idea is that by getting less dopamine, we increase the amount of dopamine receptors in our brain.

And then, we need less stimulation to feel pleasure.

Even simple activities start to feel great.

Mild dopamine fasting: things I avoid

Every day, I do a mild version of dopamine fasting.

The first part is reducing or eliminating pleasurable activities:

No sleeping in

Waking up and deciding to stay in bed feels great.

But after you start a day with this huge stimulation, the entire day is a challenge.

It's like you experience the peak state in the morning.

And then everything during the day feels boring in comparison to it.

It seems boring.

But I don't sleep in.

Yeah, I lose that huge stimulation.

But then the rest of the day isn't boring anymore.

It's exciting.

No distractions

Distractions feel great, especially when tackling difficult tasks.

It's a pleasurable escape from your challenges.

But when you go back to work, it feels boring.

So, I stopped all distractions.

And I feel better about my work now.

That's because my level of pleasure is stable.

I don't use distractions to create those peaks that make it difficult to return to work.

No food until dinner

I've been eating one meal a day (OMAD) for the last four months.

I don't have breakfast or lunch—just dinner.

Here's why it works so well for me.

When I used to eat breakfast or lunch, I'd feel great after them.

That was a spike of dopamine.

But then, I'd return to what I was doing and it would feel boring.

So, now I skip those two meals.

And my mood is a flatline.

There are no peaks caused by meals.

And no troughs caused by returning to less pleasurable activities such as work.

What I also like is that having one big dinner after 22 hours of fasting feels fantastic.

Weekend fasting

On Saturday I don’t eat at all.

And I also deny myself of all possible pleasurable activities, such as engaging with content.

So Saturdays are quite difficult.

But when I go to my normal life on Sunday, it’s fantastic.

Benefit 1: Better concentration

I concentrate better and think more clearly with dopamine fasting.

Distractions such as thoughts of pleasurable activities lose their grip on me.

When I used to allow myself to get distracted, I couldn't accomplish anything.

But now that I concentrate better, I gain momentum and go into flow.

Benefit 2: More motivation

With dopamine fasting, I find it easier to do what I need to do.

It's like it positively rechannels my motivation.

Say, previously, 50% of my motivation went into wanting pleasurable activities.

And the other 50% went into wanting to accomplish high-priority tasks.

But after dopamine fasting, it's like 30% vs 70%, respectively.

Benefit 3: Enjoying pleasurable activities more

We artificially create scarcity with fasting.

And when it’s over we enjoy that thing more.

Take for example my one meal a day – it feels so great!

Benefit 4: Hedonic adaptation

Dopamine fasting makes hedonic adaptation possible.

It's all about finding pleasure in something less pleasurable than what we used to have.

For example, I used to have a sweet tooth and wanted to stop the addiction.

First, I replaced sweets with cheese sandwiches.

And then I replaced cheese sandwiches with broccoli.

Now that I rewired my taste receptors, broccoli tastes as good as sweets to me.

We adjust to those circumstances, good or bad, and feel just as happy or sad as we did before.

Benefit 5: Exercising willpower

I deny myself of many things on a dopamine fasting day.

It's difficult and requires willpower.

It's like building muscle with exercise: the more I fast, the stronger my willpower is.

And exercising willpower is a pleasure in itself.

These two short videos represent me working out on an empty stomach haven’t got up in the middle of the night due to being very stressed at three in the morning and making myself a fruit porridge I haven’t eaten up to now and that was 10 hours later and 15 our since I’ve been to bed. I was full of anger frustration due to some very very stressful information I received the evening before and I’ll be coming to question how life can be so trying at times like I was carrying the world on my shoulders. So earlier in the morning I take a walk when the wrong shoes through the park I’ve been round yesterday but I was determined to complete the walk. Now I was even more determined to do a workout even though when I woke up at 9 am I felt my throat hurting still feeling absolutely wretched with stress but I’m the type of person who doesn’t allow stressed to get too much at me so rather than being adsorbed by the stress, are use the anger agitation frustration inside of me to fuel my workout. Better be all of this negative energy outside of my body than perhaps creating cancer cells or do you miss diminishing the positive response of my Muinn system on the inside. In a way apart from me taking videos of myself walking exercising climbing when I’m up on a tree per se I’m giving myself a dopamine fast #dopaminefasting #dopamine #dopaminediet #loseyouranger #nevergiveup #nevergiveup💪 #bestrong #beresilient #beprepared #behealthy #behealthybehappy #forestbathing🌲🌲🌲 #favourite #favouritetree #howaboutyou (at Camlet Moat) https://www.instagram.com/p/B63HdYeDI0o/?igshid=145hv9wh1m2jn
