066 - Comfort & Convenience - The Positive Psychology Podcast

Comfort and convenience

We seek comfort through convenience.
The time that convenience was designed to create for more important things is often taken up by more convenience
Convenience is a never ending task.
Our tolerance for discomfort steadily decreases which in turn is related to a lowering of our psychological well-being
A way out is to allow more risk and failure back into our lives

Consumerism

The number of ads outnumbers probably all other messages we get every day
Without thinking about our relationship with consumerism it controls us
Rethinking consumerism is not about saying goodbye to fun and joy
It's about aligning what's important to us with how we spend our energy and resources
This creates room for the great stuff

Antidotes

gratitude
savouring
mindfulness
thinking about values and what you do and don't do
creation

You can download any Audible book for free (psychology or say the Harry Potter series) if you go through strengthsphoenix.com/audible . I am currently listening to Adam Grant's Originals, Brené Brown's Rising Strong and The Candy Machine by Tom Felling.

Audible does sponsor the podcast so should you decide to go through this link I will get a little something to cover the costs such as hosting at no extra cost to you. I love Audible and have been a customer since 2006 and a member with 1 or 2 books each month since 2010.
