I think rewarding by shopping is just as unhealthy as rewarding with food ��
at 2:00 I l literally forgot why I was watching this??what is the topic??��
Well that’s the first one is not good because you don’t want
To be a samer do you?
i wonder if its possible through meditation and whatnot to just convince your dopamine system to give you dopamine when you do things that suck, that way you win no matter what you do
YOu caught me at my own game and my brain is wanting me to change the video LOL
Hey marissa plz help me.. I dont understand how am I supposed to manage my relationship with my bf(7yrs long) and my weightloss routine. He works late and wants to talk to me at that time where as it is my sleeping time. If I dont sleep at that time I would miss my morning walk and my following schedule. He dont understands and is not very supportive of My routine. He wants me to loose weight but doesn’t want me to go gym or change my routine. I am so helpless. I’ve tried talking but doesn’t work. Nd pls Note That I love this new routine of weight loss, as this is not changing me physically but also mentally. I am more calm and happy now. Plz suggest me how should I deal with him.
If you feeling proud just because youre comparing with others like “Im better than you” isnt useful right?
You just picked my topic a few weeks ago, so my feelings won’t be hurt if you don’t pick my topic again, but could you do a video sometime in the future on how to eat healthy on a budget? I find this to be one of my biggest struggles that sometimes leads me to choosing junk food or fast food.
How about a video on the topic of getting over a plateau while trying to loose weight. That’s mostly the point where I lose it:/
I totally go with most of your points. But is there a way of rewarding yourself that you have in mind that doesn’t involve money? All the listet points needed you to spend money for it ��
This is how many people want to hear their real voice. Like
Maybe you could do a video showing how you use your air fryer and showing how to make some of your favorite recipes in it ��
So I feel like practicing piano, or any other instrument gives me more enjoyment than scrolling the internet. Does that mean I would also need to abstain from practicing music to experience the dopamine detox?
I’m starting my weight lost journey tomorrow and I was wondering what the goalie group is?
I have a big problem with rewarding myself with food and also buying things I don’t need and also can’t afford. I’ve drained my savings completely doing this as I lose complete control and convince myself it’s fine until I have to borrow money from my friends or get an alert from my bank that I’m overdrawn. These are some great ideas though. Motivation is a big problem of mine as I have depression and it often feels like I have nothing to work towards.
i did not loose any weight this year �� i tried and failed a few times. its always the same Problem. i cant have sweets in my House. If it is there i will eat it so i stop buying sweets and snacks but my boyfriend keeps buying sweets and starts compensing me not buying it. i told him to hide it and stop eating it in front of me but he always forgets and i give in and start snacking again �� atleast i managet to hold my weight ����
I love that you chose this idea to talk about! I mean I was struggling with it like “Okay lost 10 lbs. If I eat that pizza or ice cream I’m gonna gain some of that back.” Lol it was kind of stressful so I appreciate this!!! ❤❤❤
I wonder if you can start a channel on LBRY and repost your videos there?
Ideas for those of us who are monetarily challenged ie broke ������
Topic consideration (if u haven’t covered it already)… What do u do when something triggers u to want to deviate from your meal plan… In other words u have ur phone in hand and about to press that number for your favorite pizza place because u have convinced yourself you need to cheat �� And what are those main triggers and what do u do to avoid them in the first place. Btw… Air fryer best thing ever happened to me! ����
You could get a piercing or maybe a tattoo or new workout clothes ��
Why You need money when you have a iPad or phone or iPhone it makes your life happier why are you deaf much closer than you have already live close
This is definitely spot-on. After a day or two of indulging in high dopamine activities, and kind of burning myself out, I totally feel like i’m a worthless piece of shit by the end of it and it’s a pretty terrible feeling. Now think back to those moments where you spent 6+ hours cleaning your place up, or staying super focused and working for quite a while. When the end of the day comes in and you are able to sit down and play stuff or listen to some music, that particular activity feels just so much better.
So my small goal im going indoor ski diving… large goal im going real ski diving IF i like the indoor ski dive lol
Will this help with depression?? Better advice and explanation than my psychologist.
“you could say that the rats lost all will to live”
i can relate to the rat at a spiritual level

Hi troomtroom I ❤️���������� your videos could I please have a shoutout?
This video was actually very helpful!!!! Thank u so much for making this
Imma try this shit, right now Im a piece of shit who’s dragging my life to the rock bottom cuz i dont do anything besides playing and marturbating, ask me how that worked if you see this in the future
Even to click and watch this video i need an effort to do that. ��
Somehow, I am blocked from replying to @reckhavoc 305 top comment about going to the comment section. I am getting this red message that “We weren’t able to add your reply. Please try again.” Anyone else getting the same message?
When you trick your brain, she ready trick you….. no coment
I like this video. Because right now im struggling how to reward myself.
I’ve thought of this concept before, the notion of even tricking your brain to like things that reward more in the long term. To derive dopamine in high amounts from working hard. Indulgence in the long term is the best pleasure, but it’s so gruelling and short term indulgence is the devil that ruins and triumphs over most people, such as myself. I was too busy procrastinating to actually look into how to do that though, which I should’ve. But better late than never. I didn’t know it was called a dopamine detox. Thank you for this informative video and I’ll look more into a dopamine detox.
This is what I’ve been doing all my life when I work on my drawings without even knowing it ��
go to min 7.38 to cut the bullshit and go to the what to do part
Doing your favorite sports already gives you access to a full-blown cocktail of happiness hormones: D.O.S.E. (dopamine, oxytocin, seratonin and endorphins). Cycling, swim, ski, hike, explore, play grown-up neighborhood/in the woods tag with a friend, etc. It will leave you coming back for more. The effects peak during rest or post-activity.
but if you work or study with your computer you won’t get do this thing guys
You could have just sead can you get me some food I have no money
A lot of good ideas I look forward to trying. This video was posted on my birthday. It’s like a sign. It’s hard to do anything that will take longer than washing the dishes. I’ve been using COVID as an added excuse to push everything aside. I’ve lived in my new place going on four months and I still haven’t put everything away. Now, after watching this video, I’ve realized I start everyday watching YouTube or TV while eating breakfast. It’s counter productive. I’ll try the detox and see how it goes. I’m excited though. Enjoy the content and the way you present your material.
So if you do some googling for about 5 minutes it turns out this is all bullshit
Keeping the Shabbat(day of rest in Judaism) makes total sense right now.
What if my dopamine addiction is not a result of external stimulus? What to do if my thoughts are the source of my dopamine?
I reward myself via, cup of coffee from Fancy Coffee shop (probably once/2 wks), to have I lce cream good once, I do it in many ways��
Hm… how interesting that Anti-psychotics are dopamine antagonists then (meaning they block Dopamine very strongly, ok not exactky all of it, but certain or most dopamine receptors, depending on the med)
Yay! You said my name, teehee.:) thank you for the video! I’m struggling right now and needed this. ♡
Grate… Now i have to fool my brain, because now it knows what i’m trying to do and it won’t fall in this trap…
I am the “happiest” after a productive day.
Having dysthymia makes things difficult in the sense I put myself in bad activities and bad habits just to accomplish a “good productive day”.
After a while Im so used to rewarding myself with bad stuff that doing errands with not wine or icecream feels bad.
I dont know how to explain it but I put myself in a dumb circle.
I’ll try to break it now.
I’ve spent a lot of years living like this.
Dude! leaving me with my mind alone is dangerous. I overthink, get anxious…
This is just stealing money ur stealing peoples money!!! What Mater’s most is The heart not Money >:/ how rude more like 13 Stealings Hacks!
Bookstores is where it’s at for me. If I meat my 4wk goal, I’m going to go buy the new book I want. When I reach my goal of 100+ lbs loss, I am finally going to get on a plane for the first time in my life, and go to Disney Land/World for the very first time.

Online School Coming Up: alright time to get on the computer to do school work
Me: it’s time for a high dopamine detox
Online School: wait you need to use the computer to work on your future…
Me: isn’t it a nice day not to worry about the internet:)
Was aware of most content here and it’s very well presented. The having to get through the boredom when detoxing was very interesting. Personally this boredom is a major obstruction the transition from short term reward to long term reward. Seems we just have to accept that there will be some boredom, some listlessness, some ‘what’s the point of living!’ in between. Thank you.
Wow! After watching finish the movie Barbie In The Pink Shoes, I’ll try this!
I’m a banana I’m a banana stop what happened to your clothes
I actually did this radical first step recently, kind of by accident. Basically I had a really bad day and instead of going where I was suppose to, I decided to stay alone. The place where I stayed had no electricity, I didn’t bring any books(which is a high dopamine activity for me), I had eaten all of my lunch and so I just spent four hours doing nothing. I just walked around a little, sitted in place for a few minutes, looked at insects, stuff like that. It was weird.
If you’re reading this just know we are ALL put on this planet for a reason and you just need to find it,
PLEASE meditate that shit really helps you focus on what really matters!
I ❤️ you all.
I’m on day 8 of quitting and you are really helping me, man. thanks.
You’re clever clever idea I’m just wondering can you do more or can you do any pregnant ones bye-bye
so i guess i’ll be starting my detox tomorrow or maybe next week or in a month…
“Dopamine fasting: Misunderstanding science spawns a maladaptive fad”
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/dopamine-fasting-misunderstanding-science-spawns-a-maladaptive-fad-2020022618917
You need a more holistic approach that considers endorphins, gaba, androgens etc. You can permanently alter your neuronal homeostasis. This happens with chronic meth addicts (forever deficient in dopamine receptors). The thing is, this also works the other way, albeit in a slightly different manner. Take Naltrexone for example, an opioid blocking drug that when taken by non-addicts, increases the neurogenesis of opioidal receptors, which works great for improving executive function.
You allow walking, but what about going for a run, bike ride, or a hike? What about PLAYING a musical instrument?
Just found this at PsychCentral: ‘Dopamine Fasting Probably Doesn’t Work… A behavioral brain fad called “dopamine fasting” ( #dopaminefasting) has been floating around the internet for the past year. The idea is that by restricting most of your pleasurable daily activities — from social media, to watching videos, gaming, talking, or even eating — you can “reset” your brain. The idea also plays into people’s simplistic beliefs about how the brain works.’
No one likes this video lol. No one likes the truth bwahaha. You got my like brother great truth and great video. I hope I can implement this truth.
I enjoy the narrator’s voice. Calming, engaging, not condescending.
This video seriously got a point! Like seriously! Awesome man! DoPaMiNe DeToX… Sounds gooodd!
Just so folks know, this is a fad psycology thing. Similar to fad diets of yesteryear. While there’s some basis of truth to it. It’s not hard science.
ppl do that everyday at the gym, job, dishes, diapers etc…… moving on…
What are you doing now in your life, make more content on this topic dude. You are on the multimilioner way… This is future….
Interesting topic, thank you very much. I will definitly do detox to my brain, because it seems like i’ve wasted last 1,5 months for nothing and ended up beeing lazy and struggle doing simple tasks
Thank you for all of the ideas. What about thing you can cook in the air fryer? I’ve only tried a couple things in mine. Keep up the great work. ��❤��
Damn it, i don’t really know what to use as revard aside from gaming, movies or internet. That is fucked up
Thank you Cam for these amazing videos. I am an extreme professional in the simultaneous language interpretation field, sometimes driving a car or riding my motorcycle about 2,000 miles a week to get to my assignments.. I work crazy hours every week, and your video made me realize that I was very low on rewards, which is why I was struggling to some degree. You are awesome. We all appreciate you greatly. I have an 18-year-old son, a fourteen-year-old son, and an 11-year-old daughter, who are all gamers to different degrees, all have perfect grades, do their chores, are singers, musicians, and or dancers. However, I am still concerned that gaming is still too big a part of their life. I’m in my 40s, and your videos have helped me realize that my life was out of whack.
I would add looking as to why we need a reward in the first place? As you’ve mentioned not as a way to beat ourselves up but to be curious as to ‘Why do I need a reward? why do I feel I need something outside of me to come my way in order for me to feel good about myself? why don’t I feel good about just being myself?’ I know when I seek a reward it’s because I’ve stopped appreciating myself and stopped accepting that I am enough just as I am, I go into the trying to better myself mode.
Hey cam, i wanted to know why i cant load your vids on fundamentals etc on your website it wont do anything except highlight
now that ive seen this video, ive realized i actually used this technic sometimes, mostly with exams. The things is exams, academic stuff in general, has always been “the easy part of life” for me. So i guess ill try to apply at more activities, and who knows, hopefully on a daily basis. btw great vid Cam!
Thanks a lot. You’re really great, although I love games, I am recognising that it’s a problem in my life now
Can you give some examples of rewards? Thank you for your videos. They’re really great & very reassuring / helpful.
Thank you bro I totally resonate with everything you are and do ����
I want to give you a pro tip for your tagging in videos:
USE YOUR OWN USERNAME!
It makes your own videos appear in the what to watch lineup more.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
this girls poor boy friend spending all this money for food on his “sick” girlfriend
This is mean this your coins for luck and then stealing the money
I’m gonna help your dopamine detox by not clicking on the like button:P
I love some nice sand and I love the sun and some of my new stuff to go to the beach and I’m headed to the beach with my mom itw
I disagree with that method, because that is a sign, that specific activities get more of your attention for a reason.
What I mean by this is that you are just fighting the symptom of boring activities instead of making those activities less boring.
An example would be cleaning your working space (I am making this from a subjective viewpoint now):
Cleaning it is boring. Making myself bored to enjoy cleaning it will make the mood even worse.
But if you find some enjoyment-keypoints in cleaning it (like for example making a different layout of the desk in that process and that maybe excites you), it will have a high dopamine output and it can reach the same level of the enjoyment of gaming and you dont have to torture yourself.
Find the joy in specific activities and sometimes there are some, which just arent for you. I have had times I didnt clean my workspace for 1 year, till I find a properly rewarding reason for doing so.
But! It never bothered me how my workspace looked like in that year and I dont see a reason to be bothered about it.
could you do a 5 minute video about why water is so important, what it does to your body and such..what you experience from it as well? im verry curious about that:)
There’s not actual science that proves dopamine detoxing or fasting does anything. Dopamine levels don’t decrease if you avoid stimulating activities so you enjoy less stimulating activity more. Dopamine detoxing and fasting are just silly fads that don’t actually do anything meaningful to the person. It’s just a false way to promote living life in a healthy balance.
Is it just me who thinks bribing people to throw coins into the water so u can buy somthing is the same as stealing money
Can anyone tell me what should I do on my dopamine detox days?
Sorry but taking people’s money is bad and liking to a person who can save your life is rude Edit: I meant lying
So do you use DietBet? Does it work for you? Have you lost any money? How does the process there happen?
