Why We Stop Noticing What Matters and How to Feel Alive Again with Tali Sharot

If we weren't the kind of creatures that habituate to these negative things, we wouldn't be able to function. Not as an individual, not as a species, right? We all have had these experiences of things that happen to us that are sometimes really tragic, sometimes just feel tragic, perhaps are not that tragic, but over time we bounce back. That's what people do. Welcome to the One You Feed.

Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like, garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true. And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do.

We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction.
