The Hedonic Treadmill and Unconscious Capitalism

I can confidently say that I am FULL committed to daily practice to achieve a standard of excellence. AND sometimes, I have moments where I wonder—should I be doing more? Then last month it hit me like a ton of bricks: why do I have this unquenchable drive for more?

Why do I have this unconscious predisposition to believe that more is inherently better?

In this episode, we explore the idea of the Hedonic Treadmill, or how we return to a baseline level of emotional satisfaction no matter what changes we add to our lives. 

In my lived experience, we get so stuck on the need for MORE that we disregard what we have, and the energy it takes to get MORE.

I want to talk about this urge and how we can manage it through one simple exercise that just might be one of the bBest Biohacks to start applying to your life. ::HINT:: I talk about it a lot! Let’s jump in.
