I want to share my new found enthusiasm and content with you, the reader. Researching a topic, building articles, capturing images and tying it all together as content. I now understand there will be ups and downs but chasing the ups is a never ending, unfulfilling cycle leading to unhappiness. It warped my thinking of what I enjoyed leading to the misconception that I hated what I actually love – sharing content. How may views a post generated, brand reactions to my reviews, user comments etc. I now understand I had a false perception of my enjoyment by focusing on the material aspects i.e. I stopped blogging as I thought I didn’t enjoy it. A reminder not to fall into the trap of judging your happiness based on spikes of success and encourage readers to learn to love the long term process of whatever it is you’re doing. This blog is designed to do exactly the opposite of the name it represents.
A repeated cycle of short lived joy which is not beneficial to us as individuals. Avoid hedonic adaptation by breaking your routine. Focus on the process instead of the end goal.
Hedonic treadmill false how to#
The concept of the hedonic treadmill is the habit of chasing one life pleasure after another before crashing back down to baseline happiness. Hedonic adaptation: what it is and how to avoid it. The name may sound a little strange but let me explain… Why The Hedonic Treadmill? However, in early 2022 I wanted to dive back into the world of blogging and re-launched under the new name of The Hedonic Treadmill. My name’s Graeme and for 7 years I ran the blog Fitness, Food and Travel before taking a break from writing.
