243 // Happiness and the Hedonic Treadmill

Published: Aug. 27, 2020, 8:18 a.m.

Hello and welcome to episode 243 of The Mindful Kind podcast.\xa0

In this episode, you'll learn why exciting changes and experiences don't necessarily lead to long-term happiness thanks to a theory called the "hedonic treadmill."\xa0

However, I've also found some strategies that can enhance long-term happiness, including:\xa0

  • Knowing that material things don't always create real happiness
  • Engaging in regular self-care
  • Trying to accept that all emotions are temporary
  • Practicing mindfulness and gratitude

And, you'll hear some exciting news about two courses I've created, including a free online self-care mini-course and an amazing mindfulness online course! My newsletter subscribers will be the first to hear when the courses launch, so make sure you're signed up at rachaelkable.com/subscribe.\xa0

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!
