Someone redpill me on dopamine fasting

Don't read unless you're a brainlet.

Get a productive hobby other than being Jow Forums such as coding.

If you have a dad or a grandfather ask them for their opinion on things before turning to books for wisdom.

then take your own advice..... and put your self around him more.....

Cope nigga, books can only give you generalized knowledge whereas the elderly can give you specific and exoanded knowledge for your specific situation which saves you time from reading basedpaper

Nodopamine maxing

Kek

give me his info

I listen to loads of music, to the point where I can't walk without it. Feeling completely cucked by it but not sure if I want to quit it though.

Pretty sure you don't have to cut out all dopamine, lemme just keep music pls

bad news bro, music lowers T
>Previous studies have shown that there is a gender-specific difference in the change in T levels when listening to music. For example, in adolescents and men in the late middle age, the T levels decreased with music they liked, whereas the levels increased with music they disliked.

Nodopamine is essentially ascetic bro which means that you must strip yourself from the shite that binds you to this earth.

I intend to an hero after graduating university but I’ll give the nodopamine routine a run with you OP

Basically there is a theory that high dopamine is associated with mental illness like OCD, ADD, schizophrenia, bi-polar, mania. And there are studies showing that blocking dopamine improves the symptoms of the mental illness.

I can tell you I'm bi polar II and once I took tyrosine (which increases dopamine) and it caused severe mania. My advice is cut down on the activities that create dopamine, especially addictive behaviors like smoking, drinking, etc.

>whereas the levels increased with music they disliked.
So that’s why the gym always plays trash music.

What's the point of this board if he can't ask for advice?

>whereas the levels increased with music they disliked.

Time to listen to k-pop I guess. Either I'm gonna make it or kms

Sounds like your typical selfish boomer.

>"However, these differences were not significant"
oh

manga reading is no better than watching television, it does the same shit to your dopamine levels. Don't fall for it bros.
Any nonfiction should be best for nodopamine. Books I liked: "Don't follow your passion" by Cal Newport
"A mind for numbers"
One book Jocko Willink, he repeats himself far too often to read all of them
Any nonfiction book about things you are interested in. The above are self help, but there's so much more out there.
"practical electronics for inventors" etc, also this can result in a

for , but apart from that don't listen to him

Ill have a read through this, hope it's not true, my runs will be so fucking boring otherwise

> The T levels decreased in males who listened to both types of music. [...] The E levels increased in males who listened to both types of music.
Have you taken the no music pill yet? Only soiboi dyel ngmi are listening to music.

>Pretty sure you don't have to cut out all dopamine
You already know it's not true. You don't ask alcoholics to "just drink some beer once in a while".

I was joking user, no way will I listen to fucking k-pop.
I'm /nomusic/ most of the time, honestly you start appreciating nature a lot more and you are more open to the world around you.
I still sometimes fall back on it in the gym though because assholes blast shit tier music 24/7

no fantasy
>total concentration breathing technique all the time

>I still sometimes fall back on it

You are right user, I'm not gonna deny it.

don't stop listening to music if that's what helps you actually do the exercise user

don't take every single article and post in this board so seriously, you can make it with music

Stop fucking stalling. I used to have the same problem. Instead of just doing the thing I would think "I can't start now, I need more info first" and then I would put it off longer. Just go do it and stop killing threads

How to do this

The difference in T and E from listening to music is negligible.

88 burpees for your people right fucking now god damn it!

>Nosex
>Noporn
>No drugs
>No alcohol
>No sugar
>No processed foods
>No you
>No wonder it's dark
>Everyone around me is a total stranger
>Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
>Everyone!

NoPoo

Just give up on living theory

You realise that most T changes are short term and negligible right? This is like fatties talking about ‘diet’ tips. Stop worrying about meaningless shit and focus on the core principles.

You forgot

NO SOCIAL MEDIA. NO CHANS.

>be musician
>no music

no.

Think creating vs consuming must be some kind of exception

Please let me keep my music

Oh nonononono

Seriously just rid your life of false reward stimulus. Don't drink, don't watch porn, don't do drugs, maybe have a nicotine gum initially as a way to reward yourself when you do something worthwhile, you can also fuck, and if you're a fucking normie without socipathic tendencies or a genetic predispostition to substance abuse, then have yourself a glass of whiskey after a long week's work.

>If you have a dad or a grandfather ask them for wisdom
You're a fucking retard, books like any other form of art can inspire moments of self reflection, and books increase vocabulary. Neither my dad or my grandpa has anything particularily wise to say. My dad is an ex-hippe boomer who either works, watches tv, or plays video games, and my grandpa is a cynical workaholic who has been depressed ever since he had to retire. I love them both but shit, they don't have THAT much wisdom to share with the world.

Bruh this ain't the 19th century, old folks don't have uncucked redpilled wisdom to share anymore

This is what you need then

I agree

Multiple negligible causes together make for a not-so-negligible result.

90 days drinking only water you'll probably be below earth

actually abstinence is a fucking terrible way to deal with an addiction, at least after the initial phase of breaking it

having a blanket rule of "no alcohol" is the lazy way compared to "have a healthy relationship with alcohol - drink socially but stop before you've had too much"

Your body will adapt to produce dopamine from other things, though. It’s more like telling an alcoholic to not drink Caribou Lou every evening and enjoy a weekend whiskey instead.

No living?

This one's probably more important than a lot of the other ones on the list.

how long does one do a dopamine fast? one day a week? months on end? how does one structure this? will cutting out stimulus one day a week be enough for a reset?

No Jow Forums is harder than Nofap and anything else on that list.

explain this image, why is he like that?

>dont do anything just sit in a dark corner and wait until you die

I could agree in nofap and noporn, but nosex? Why the hell not?

because you're doing it already lmao gottem

There's no way in hell that listening to the DOOM OST would lower T.

>blocks dopamine
>develops symptoms of parkinson's disease

Die hippie

I'm in the same boat. Instead of cutting things out of my life, I'm focusing on the hard important shit that dopamine addiction makes me not focus on. Pic related. Whenever I'm doing something productive, and am 100% focused, I start the timer. I'm not sure what my goal is, but it keeps me honest and I can compare & compete with other days. How productive can I be? And then I can reward myself with whatever degenerate things afterwards.

BUT WHAT ABOUT MY SECRET CLUB?

Do a White List system.

Make a list of things you are allowed to do.
Everything else, don't do it.

Work.
Workout.
Hygiene.
Read.
Sleep.
Eat.

Do that for a week, see what happens.

>whereas the levels increased with music they disliked
It's time to listen to niggermusic I guess.

Sort yourself out mister.
Clean your room.

If you really need to, rent a cabin in the woods for 5 days and just bring food, water, journals and books. Leave your phone in your car for emergencies.
I haven't tried it yet because I manage to be productive in spite of my addictions, but that's what I would do.
