056: Why You Should Use the Fine China on a Wednesday

056: Why You Should Use the Fine China on a Wednesday

On this week's episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss how to show the most important people in our lives that they are, in fact, the most important.

If I asked you what’s most important in life, I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t hesitate.

Family, of course!

But are you in the habit of regularly showing them that they are, in fact, your VIPs?

It happens more than we’d like to admit. Even though we’re conscious that our families are our Number Ones – and even though we know we should be prioritizing them over the dishes, the vacuuming + whatever else – it’s often really hard to do so in practice.

It’s sad but true: Sometimes we’re our worst selves around the people we love most.

This week, Ashley Logsdon motivates us to prioritize our time so that our families always come out on top. 

Enjoy!

Pleasure-Saturated

We Homo Sapiens are notorious for avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. In fact, we have transformed the planet from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance, with ample opportunities to flood our brains with dopamine at every turn.

But over-consuming has consequences: Exposure to prolonged and repeated pleasurable stimuli decreases our capacity to tolerate pain and increases our threshold for experiencing pleasure. 

On today's show: Resetting your neural set point to make dopamine work FOR you, not against you.


Here's a preview:

[7:00] Measuring the dopamine-induced addictive potential of various foods, habits, and drugs

[10:00] What goes up must come down: Here's what opponent process theory means for you and your brain

[14:00] Quantifying leisure time from the Civil War to present day

[24:00] Dopamine fasts work! Here's how to recalibrate your brain
