Why Our Brain is Wired to to Be Unsatisfied…All the Time

MO’ (ANYTHING) MO’ PROBLEMS –

Aug. 5, 2022 – The paradox of choice and having a mindset that the grass is always greener on the other side can be helped by practicing acceptance and gratitude. Psychiatrist Dr. Alex Dimitriu told Healthline, “Settling for ‘good enough’ is essential in a situation with too many choices. In my work with high-achieving patients, I always emphasize the statement that ‘the enemy of good is better. Indeed, finding peace with ‘good enough’ and actually enjoying it — through gratitude, mindfulness, etc. — may lead to a less than optimal choice, but a significantly higher level of satisfaction.”  Similarly, it’s impossible to enjoy your accomplishments when you are constantly focused on raising the bar, which is what happens with the hedonic treadmill. Practicing mindfulness can help you learn how to press pause and bask in the present moment rather than bunny hopping from one goal to the next, per Healthline.
