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!

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
