Make Your Damn Bed

https://www.healthline.com/health/hedonic-treadmill#bottom-lineThe hedonic treadmill is a metaphor for the human tendency to pursue one pleasure after another. That’s because the surge of happiness that’s felt after a positive event is likely to return to a steady personal baseline over time.In the same way, the negative feelings you experience after a traumatic event also tend to soften with time.However, there’s good evidence to show that some kinds of happiness are more durable than others. Pleasure that comes from selfless acts, for example, tends to outlast physical pleasures.Research also shows that you may be able to increase your long-term sense of well-being through mindfulness, personal growth, gratitude, and investing in relationships. Learning to savor simple pleasures as they happen may also help you hang onto happiness a little longer.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

https://www.healthline.com/health/hedonic-treadmill#bottom-line Medically reviewed by Timothy J. Legg, PhD, PsyD — Written by Rebecca Joy Stanborough, MFA: Rebecca’s article says: Psychologists say that when human beings experience something good — a long-awaited promotion, a new car, a winning lottery ticket, for instance — the surge of happiness that’s experienced is likely to return to a steady personal baseline over time.It’s a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill,” sometimes also referred to as hedonic adaptation.Interestingly, the same principle applies to difficult events. Most of the time, when people experience a loss or setback, the feelings that accompany the negative event lessen in severity over time.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

@TIKTOKTRAUMADOC shared an amazing technique for battling our negative self talk that truly has made a huge difference in the way I speak to myself. She asks us to try WHAT IFFIRMATIONS instead of affirmations. Instead of saying: ‘I deserve love.’ Ask yourself, ‘what if I deserve love?’ ‘I’m beautiful.’ Try ‘What if I believed I was beautiful?’‘I love my body.’ Try ‘What if I loved my body?‘When we form our affirmations into questions - our minds open up to the possibilities behind whatever it’s asking. Hearing a question will trigger your brain’s neural pathway to instinctively elaborate in order to react to the question. Hearing a statement presented as fact can often make us want to get defensive, but hearing a question presented as a realistic possibility? That’s where the real magic happens. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Learning how to take the note is not easy but it’s an important practice to master. The more you put yourself out there, and ask people for support the more you open yourself up to constructive criticism. Eventually, you may even seek it out as a way to level up because effectively applying constructive criticism can sometimes be the missing link between good and great work. Having someone else’s objective eyes on our process can be a great way to grow and level up, and shouldn’t be overlooked just because it can be hard to hear. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

How to handle constructive criticism without crumbling like a nature's own bar: Breathe, stay calm, & just listen. Imagine a protective bubble that allows you to listen objectively & feel safe (you are!) Feel the feelings without reacting. If needed: cool down, ask relevant & productive follow up questions, and take appropriate accountability without deflecting. Reflect, apply any applicable notes, and be gentle with yourself in the process. Get cathartic: release in a healthy way (journal, boxing class, therapy, vent session, etc.) Nurture yourself extra hard for doing this work.
