November 29, 2024Season 2: Ep. #1 Breaking the Hedonic Treadmill: Finding Happiness at Your Baseline
In this episode, we share our excitement about returning after a long break, primarily due to adding a new baby to our family. We discuss "hedonic adaptation," which explains how our happiness tends to return to a baseline after pleasurable experiences, like buying new things or going on vacations. We emphasize that while dopamine gives us temporary pleasure, it doesn't lead to lasting happiness, and the "hedonic treadmill" leaves us constantly chasing the next high.
We encourage listeners to find contentment in their everyday life, or "baseline," through practices like gratitude and presence. Understanding how our brains seek pleasure can help us avoid misinterpreting natural adaptation as dissatisfaction, especially in relationships. We also share our excitement for upcoming episodes on topics like conscious parenting.

Topics Covered in this episodes:
"Hedonic adaptation"—how our happiness returns to baseline.

The role of dopamine in pleasure and happiness.

The "hedonic treadmill" and constant pursuit of more.

How happiness fades over time with new experiences.

Finding contentment in your everyday life (baseline).

Improving baseline with healthy habits like gratitude.

Being present and enjoying simple moments.

Misunderstanding hedonic adaptation in relationships.

April 19, 2024Ep. #8 Witness Consciousness: Untangling Thoughts and Embracing Presence
In this episode, Jess and I talk about witness consciousness and how to practice mindfulness. We discuss observing your thoughts without getting attached to them, which allows you to separate yourself from the constant chatter in your mind. By naming the voice in your head and imagining it as an outside entity, you can distance yourself from your thoughts and focus more on the present.

We also share practical ways to shift from being stuck in your thoughts to being present in your body, such as moving around, dancing, or noticing different textures. By engaging in these activities, you can quiet your mind and stay in the here and now. We encourage you to embrace the human experience with compassion and understanding, recognizing that it's normal to struggle with mindfulness at times.
