243 // Happiness and the Hedonic Treadmill

<p>Hello and welcome to episode 243 of The Mindful Kind podcast. </p> <p>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." </p> <p>However, I've also found some strategies that can enhance long-term happiness, including: </p> <ul> <li>Knowing that material things don't always create real happiness</li> <li>Engaging in regular self-care</li> <li>Trying to accept that all emotions are temporary</li> <li>Practicing mindfulness and gratitude</li> </ul> <p>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. </p> <p>Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!</p>
