Day 366|| Hedonic Treadmill IV Feb 13, 2022

Show notes

https://www.healthline.com/health/hedonic-treadmill#bottom-line

The hedonic treadmill is a metaphor for the human tendency to pursue one pleasure after another. That’s because the surge of happiness that’s felt after a positive event is likely to return to a steady personal baseline over time.

In the same way, the negative feelings you experience after a traumatic event also tend to soften with time.

However, there’s good evidence to show that some kinds of happiness are more durable than others. Pleasure that comes from selfless acts, for example, tends to outlast physical pleasures.

Research also shows that you may be able to increase your long-term sense of well-being through mindfulness, personal growth, gratitude, and investing in relationships. Learning to savor simple pleasures as they happen may also help you hang onto happiness a little longer.

Day 365 || Our First Anniversary Feb 12, 2022

Show notes

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE! (how stinkin' amazing is it that the episode was somehow 11:11!? I almost cried. literally.)

Truly couldn't be more excited to have pushed through my initial plan for 66 days and commit to 6 full ass beautiful seasons together.

This episode is one of gratitude and genuine love for YOU for being the type of person in the world that the world needs right now - because if this show resonates with you, YOU ARE the magic. I am ridiculously excited to see where the next 365 days together leads us.

Reminders:

nobody is mad at you. if you didn't do anything wrong, quit worrying. if they are mad they'll tell you and if they don't tell you that's on them.
you're the creator of your world. you control the momentum created in your life. put your energy into the things you want to see grow.
self love and self care are acts of rebellion and community care. keep saving the world by showing up for yourself first.
i love you. i am proud of you. and i am unbelievable fucking grateful for you.

Happy one year anniversary!

Day 362 || Hedonic Treadmill I Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

https://www.healthline.com/health/hedonic-treadmill#bottom-line

Medically reviewed by Timothy J. Legg, PhD, PsyD — Written by Rebecca Joy Stanborough, MFA: Rebecca’s article says:

Psychologists say that when human beings experience something good — a long-awaited promotion, a new car, a winning lottery ticket, for instance — the surge of happiness that’s experienced is likely to return to a steady personal baseline over time.

It’s a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill,” sometimes also referred to as hedonic adaptation.

Interestingly, the same principle applies to difficult events. Most of the time, when people experience a loss or setback, the feelings that accompany the negative event lessen in severity over time.

Day 361 || What Iffirmations Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

@TIKTOKTRAUMADOC shared an amazing technique for battling our negative self talk that truly has made a huge difference in the way I speak to myself. She asks us to try WHAT IFFIRMATIONS instead of affirmations. Instead of saying:

‘I deserve love.’ Ask yourself, ‘what if I deserve love?’

‘I’m beautiful.’ Try ‘What if I believed I was beautiful?’

‘I love my body.’ Try ‘What if I loved my body?‘

When we form our affirmations into questions - our minds open up to the possibilities behind whatever it’s asking. Hearing a question will trigger your brain’s neural pathway to instinctively elaborate in order to react to the question. Hearing a statement presented as fact can often make us want to get defensive, but hearing a question presented as a realistic possibility? That’s where the real magic happens.
