00:00so look ladies and gentlemen i know a
00:01lot of you guys watching this video are
00:02feeling incredibly stuck in your lives
00:04you have these incredible goals dreams
00:06aspirations but you just don't know how
00:09to accomplish them now if that is you i
00:12need you to listen very very very
00:14closely to the rest of this video
00:15because in today's video i'm going to be
00:17talking about how you can reclaim back
00:19your life using the dopamine detox now
00:22real quick let me tell you the first
00:24place that you probably suck because
00:25most people think that they lack energy
00:28or they lack knowledge aka the know-how
00:30and that is why they are not where they
00:32want to be in life well that's actually
00:34wrong the main thing that you are
00:36lacking is focus because when you are a
00:39person who has a lot of focus and can
00:41focus in on a singular thing then it's
00:43very easy to actually get the know-how
00:45and you know the tangible knowledge
00:47needed to accomplish your goals and
00:50second when you're focusing on a
00:51singular task and you can do that for a
00:53long time you really start to enjoy it
00:57how do you cultivate focus and this is
00:59really where the dopamine detox comes in
01:02because let me tell you the state of
01:06right now most people on their desk they
01:08have three different devices they have
01:09an ipad an iphone a computer each one
01:11has you know bell notifications going on
01:14while that's running on a separate tab
01:15they've got their twitter feed running
01:1724 7. and for me one of the funniest
01:19things are seeing people with you know
01:21multi-display uh setup you know for me
01:23one of the ways that i was actually able
01:24to get to 10 million dollars after tax
01:27by the age of 21 was through focus and
01:29one of the ways that i was able to focus
01:31was i have always just had one monitor
01:34in front of me i've always just had one
01:35screen in front of me and i've always
01:37made sure that i just have the window
01:38open that i need and any windows that
01:41i'm not using are closed and can get
01:43reopened later another example is even
01:44when i was 14 15 16 and i was really
01:47getting into the world of self-help
01:49starting to read a book a week and you
01:50know really just working on myself and
01:52working on my capacity to focus and work
01:54i was notorious for always just having
01:56my phone on airplane mode you know most
01:58of the day and then when i needed to use
01:59it i would just take it off of airplane
02:01mode and the reason i do this sort of
02:02stuff is because i want to make sure no
02:05one is able to rob me of my focus so as
02:07i said if you're at a point in life
02:09where you have these goals but it feels
02:10like when you sit at your desk you just
02:12you can't get to it like it's just it's
02:14too hard you're just constantly
02:16distracting yourself
02:17that means that you need to work on your
02:19focus and in order to work on your focus
02:21you need to reset your dopamine levels
02:24now i'm sure you guys have seen plenty
02:26of videos on youtube about dopamine
02:28detoxes what they are what they can do
02:30for you uh you know how it can help you
02:32achieve your goals well in today's video
02:34what i'm really gonna do is i'm just
02:35gonna give you a framework for the next
02:36seven days of what to do to actually
02:39reset your dopamine levels tangibly what
02:41that's gonna feel like you know what
02:43you're actually gonna like how your
02:45experience of the world is gonna be
02:46different seven days from now and then
02:48most importantly how to integrate that
02:50because here's what happens a lot of
02:51times is people will do dopamine detoxes
02:54and then from there you know one bad
02:55habit will creep back in like for
02:56example you know their phone is the
02:58first thing they check in the morning
02:59and you know they'll creep back in for
03:00two or three days and then they're like
03:01ah you know what when i'm doing work
03:03might as well just have a podcast or a
03:04youtube video playing in the background
03:06and these bad habits start to sneak back
03:09in so i'm going to show you exactly
03:10after the 7 day dopamine detox how to
03:12actually integrate this back into your
03:14life now everyone might have varying
03:16opinions on how long you should actually
03:18do a dopamine detox for for me
03:20personally i think seven days is a good
03:22benchmark and there are four key pillars
03:25to resetting your dopamine levels now
03:28you need to understand that a detox you
03:30know in of itself insinuates that it's
03:32going to be a short burst so dopamine
03:33detox for me as i said is not a
03:35lifestyle it is a hard reset that you
03:39press in order to reset your levels so
03:41that way you increase your capacity to
03:43focus to be disciplined and you know you
03:46actually increase your output levels now
03:48for the next seven days starting from
03:49tomorrow here are the four things i need
03:51you to do in order to practice a
03:54dopamine detox now before i say this as
03:56i said there are people that have you
03:58know radically different approaches to
03:59it these are just the four that i would
04:01recommend over the space of the last
04:03eight years ever since i was 14 so from
04:0514 to 22 you know practicing different
04:07dopamine detoxes at different points of
04:09the year so the first one is one hour a
04:12day screen time on your phone now if you
04:14actually open up your iphone right now
04:17i'm sure there must be a version of this
04:18on android you can actually add your
04:20screen time as a widget onto your home
04:22screen so allow yourself one hour of
04:25screen time every day for the next seven
04:27days now if your job involves you know
04:29your mobile phone for some reason which
04:31by the way most of the time it doesn't
04:32you can you know even if you need need
04:34to use whatsapp for your work uh you
04:36could just use whatsapp desktop because
04:39of course you're still technically using
04:40whatsapp but it's just a lot more
04:42focused and it's just a lot more
04:44purposeful than just being on your phone
04:45so as i said one hour a day of mobile
04:48screen time use for the next seven days
04:50and even if you need to use it for your
04:52work just find some sort of workaround
04:54as i said this isn't something that you
04:56do for the rest of your life this is
04:57really just something to reset the
04:59button so that has pillar number one of
05:01the seven day dopamine detox reset which
05:04is one hour a day of mobile screen time
05:07hey just a heads up if you enjoy content
05:09like this definitely go ahead and follow
05:11my twitter i'm posting stuff like this
05:13every single day on there in real time
05:15just sharing my thoughts things that are
05:16coming in my mind you know things that
05:18have helped me get to this point in life
05:20in fact if you go on there the first
05:21pinned comment is a full thread on
05:24exactly how i made 10 million dollars
05:26last year in 2021 and the 10 things i
05:28learned from it so i'll leave that on
05:30screen and then i'll leave my twitter
05:31handle in the description enjoy the rest
05:33of the video now pillar number two of
05:35the seven day reset is no youtube none
05:38whatsoever i don't care if you think it
05:39is productive and i've seen
05:4390 of people that watch self-help
05:44youtube watch it and are just self-help
05:47junkies right and just don't actually
05:49apply it and what it is is if you know
05:52to them it feels like productive
05:53procrastination right you're still
05:55procrastinating you're still not
05:56actually doing or accomplishing anything
05:58but in your mind you're thinking you
06:00know i'm watching videos on how to focus
06:01better while at the same time frying
06:03your focus you know it's actually quite
06:05ironic so no matter how much value you
06:07think you get out of youtube and by the
06:08way and i will say youtube is a very
06:10very valuable place if used correctly
06:13i'll give you a perfect example of how
06:14to actually use a you know i'll give you
06:15something tangible right here if you're
06:17using chrome you can use a chrome
06:19and there's you know many of them out
06:21there that basically hides youtube
06:22recommendations that way when you go
06:25the only thing that will show up is your
06:27subscriptions and it doesn't you know
06:29offer any recommendations on the side so
06:31that way you can be very very specific
06:33about who you subscribe to and what
06:35content you take in so that way you are
06:37using youtube productively you know
06:38rather than just looking for the next
06:40hit of uh you know self-help junkie
06:42videos so as i said that is a tangible
06:44tip that you can take after the seven
06:45days but for the next seven days and by
06:47the way this applies to my videos as
06:48well no youtube cut it out delete it
06:51from your iphone delete it from your
06:52ipad and do not use it on your desktop
06:55now the third pillar of the seven day
06:57reset is i'm not sure if i can actually
07:01we'll say adult films so no sort of
07:03adult films no 18 plus stuff you guys
07:05know what i'm talking about uh none
07:07whatsoever now i know that some of you
07:09guys are so addicted you literally
07:11cannot not self pleasure yourself once
07:13again you know what i'm talking about
07:14here nice uh for seven days so that's
07:17why i thought you know i would rather
07:19give you guys a fair chance to see this
07:21thing through rather than you know uh
07:23just be super strict and you know maybe
07:25only ten percent of you guys actually
07:27accomplish this so you know you can do
07:29whatever you want down there however
07:31many times a day you know multiple times
07:33a day i recommend obviously cut it back
07:35as much as humanly possible if you can
07:37do seven days without perfect i said i
07:39know some of you guys can't but the big
07:41thing here is just no
07:43imagery and by the way you know to me
07:44that also means you know none of these
07:45instagram baddies that all you guys
07:47following by the way and you're just a
07:48little sad don't hear why do you guys
07:50follow all these instagram models like i
07:51don't know for me personally i don't get
07:52it like unless you know this person in
07:54real life and you actually have a chance
07:56whatever sparking some sort of
07:58connection with this person like just
08:00why like it's wow and you know this is a
08:01much longer video that i can talk about
08:03but like when you put things on pedestal
08:04whether that be a supercar or a
08:06potential partner or literally whatever
08:08it is to me it's just you're creating a
08:09separation from it so unless this is
08:11someone who you actually have a chance
08:12with like for me just unfollow all these
08:14instagram models that you follow and
08:15stuff like that and i'll be honest
08:16probably a lot of the girls that you
08:17guys are following on instagram i know
08:19personally in real life we've hung out
08:21we've spent time together et cetera et
08:22cetera these are people i i literally
08:24know in real life and i even mute all
08:26their stuff that's a brilliant invention
08:27on instagram just mute people's stories
08:30mute people's posts because when i go on
08:32my feed and i'm really dialed in i don't
08:34need to be deriving pleasure from
08:35something that's digital like that and
08:37not like an actual physical connection
08:38so once again just a little side note
08:40but it all ties into the fact that for
08:41the next seven days no adult films no
08:45nothing right if you do have to self
08:46pleasure you know we'll call it that um
08:48use your imagination old school way
08:51right so moving on to pillar number four
08:52of the seven day reset
08:54is 10 minutes a day of meditation just
08:5610 minutes that is it
08:58obviously if you can do more if you can
09:00do 20 minutes 30 minutes you know an
09:02hour i'll be honest i know a lot of you
09:03guys here have lots and lots of time a
09:05day right so might as well if you can do
09:0830 minutes that's incredible but as i
09:10said earlier i want to set you guys up
09:12to win and actually accomplish all of
09:13these things so that is the fourth
09:15pillar just 10 minutes day of meditation
09:17so ladies and gentlemen when you
09:18accomplish this for the next seven days
09:20what it is really doing is just hitting
09:21the reset button things that before you
09:24found no enjoyment from you know just
09:26looking at the view or just walking down
09:28the street with no music playing right
09:30just literally the sound of the street
09:31you're gonna derive pleasure from things
09:33like that when you didn't before even
09:34just the 10 minutes a day of meditation
09:36the first day it's gonna be super super
09:37hard but by day seven you're gonna be
09:38like i actually kind of enjoy this thing
09:40basically what's gonna happen is your
09:42baseline of stimulation so the amount of
09:44stimulation you need in order to you
09:46know get any pleasure from something is
09:48gonna reset right it's gonna that's what
09:50the dopamine detox does it's gonna reset
09:52so that means that when you sit at your
09:54computer before the things that you
09:55found difficult or you're hard or let's
09:57say you know when you pick up your
09:58kindle or a book to read the things that
10:00you found difficult or hard before now
10:02you're like oh wow this is actually you
10:04know i'm in flow i'm enjoying this so
10:06that's what i meant when most people get
10:08it wrong when they think that they need
10:09more energy or they need more knowledge
10:11that is not true instead what you need
10:13is more focus and in order to have more
10:15focus in your life you need to be able
10:17to enjoy and derive enjoyment from just
10:20the simple things so this is truly the
10:22reset that you need in order to achieve
10:24your goals now as i said this is just
10:26seven days you might be wondering you
10:27know what do i do after this well this
10:29is where something called monk mode
10:30comes in now monk mode is something that
10:32i started talking about two years ago i
10:34think there's been some books and stuff
10:37i think it's been like a general thing
10:38that's been floating around for i don't
10:40know how long but around two years ago i
10:41started sharing my month mode protocol
10:43and it just you know within my sort of
10:45cult following it became a thing so what
10:47you want to do after these seven days is
10:49you want to go from dopamine detox to
10:51monk mode so monk mode is really more a
10:53way of life now monk mode is something
10:55that i do six months of the year and
10:56three months a year i'm basically just i
10:59you know work goes from my first
11:00priority to like my third or fourth
11:02priority and you know i just enjoy my
11:04time in another three months i'm a
11:05little bit live a little bit more of
11:06that balanced lifestyle people talk
11:08about so i'm gonna do is right below
11:09this video i'm gonna leave a link to my
11:11monk mode video on exactly how to
11:12execute on it once you've done the seven
11:14days of dopamine detox go straight into
11:1721 days of monk mode it's a lot less
11:19intense than dopamine detox so you know
11:21you have that to look forward to and
11:22when you attach these two things when
11:24you do these two things back together
11:26whatever your goals are for 2022
11:28consider it done that's the way that i
11:29view monk mode i know that if i can do
11:31six months of month mode then it doesn't
11:33matter that you know i'm only doing six
11:35months of deep focused work and you know
11:37three months a year i'm enjoying myself
11:38and partying another three months it's
11:40more of like a you know balanced
11:41lifestyle as i said i know in that six
11:43months i genuinely get more done in
11:45those six months than most people do in
11:46three or four years because these things
11:48compound and they stack on top of each
11:50other so ladies and gentlemen for those
11:51of you guys who have done monk mode in
11:52the past i want you to leave a comment
11:54down below and share what your
11:55experience has been with it so far go
11:57ahead check out that monk mode video and
11:59just remember focus is the thing that
12:02you need to be optimizing for the more
12:03that you can have singular focus on the
12:05task that you are trying to accomplish
12:07the more that you're gonna win in life
12:09so on that note i'll catch you guys in
