Reward or Robbery – Are we caught in a Pavlovian Hamster Wheel

✨ Are we trapped in a cycle of rewarding hard? 🤔✨

As I dive deeper into my personal journey with intermittent fasting and its potential benefits for perimenopausal brain fog, I’ve been reflecting on a thought-provoking idea from Gina Stephen’s Book, “28-Day FAST Day-by-Day: The Ultimate Guide to Starting (or restarting) Your Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle So It Sticks”. She challenges the notion that every moment of our lives must be celebrated and rewarded. 

When did we start believing that our everyday efforts deserve a treat? 🎉 It’s almost like we’re conditioned to seek out rewards, leading to the Monday morning guilt after overindulgence. Life is so special, yet we often find ourselves exhausted from the constant striving for something more extraordinary. 🌟 

What if we could appreciate the ordinary? What if gratitude for simple moments could replace the need for constant celebration? Let’s shift our energy from seeking external validation to embracing contentment in our daily lives. 💖
