Hedonic Treadmill: 5 Steps to Start Living
Are you always chasing the next goal, upgrade, or achievement—yet still feel like something’s missing? That nagging sense of “not enough” might not be because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re stuck on the hedonic treadmill—the endless loop of striving, consuming, and comparing. This video is for the high-performers, perfectionists, and overthinkers who are tired of chasing fulfilment but never actually feeling it. It’s time to pause, reflect, and reset.
Why You Need This Video!
If you’ve ever wondered why the thrill of success or a new purchase fades so quickly, this video will explain why—and what to do about it. You’ll learn how to break the exhausting loop of external validation and reconnect with what truly brings meaning: presence, purpose, and people. This isn’t about giving up ambition—it’s about realigning it so you’re not burning out while chasing things that don’t satisfy. If you’re ready to stop sprinting through life and start living it, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
How the hedonic treadmill keeps you stuck in a cycle of striving without satisfaction
Why gratitude is a practical tool for escaping autopilot living
The power of choosing experiences over possessions
How to align with intrinsic goals that fulfil you
Why presence, not planning, is the real path to joy

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of how the constant chase for more—more success, more stuff, more control, keeps you stuck on the hedonic treadmill. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset from striving to living, from comparison to connection. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with practical steps to reclaim your peace, realign with what matters, and start living more intentionally, moment by moment.
