Our attention span has shortened, we are used to get things with one click, almost immediate delivery…

There are of course pros and cons to this, some changes came to make our lives better, but a recent family moment changed my perspective and thought on why a slower pace and not having access to everything at once was perhaps the key to happier living. 

In this episode I talk about:

-       Dopamine hit and social media addiction.

-       Slow pace vs fast pace.

-       The concepts of time, waiting and effort and what they do to our reward system.

-       The messy bits: seeing happiness as a finishing line while happiness happens in the right now.

-       Hedonistic adaptation: a concept I learnt from Dr. Laurie Santos, that impacts the way we experience things / moments and their lasting impact. If you want to learn more about Dr. Laurie Santos work, head over to her website: https://www.drlauriesantos.com

So here is my invitation for reflection to you: what if you were to slow down? To focus on enjoying the messy bits? What would that do for you?

Hugging curveballs with kindness and purpose,
