Best experiences

08/03/24 • 8 min

So in this episode, I dive into how we can sometimes use our best experiences in life negatively, by constantly comparing new moments to those peak experiences and diminishing the joy of the present. I reflect on a friend's amazing trip to Japan and how anticipating my own trip is part of living in the now. I talk about the trap of always measuring new experiences against the best ones and how that can tarnish our enjoyment of the present. Instead, I advocate for appreciating each moment as it comes, without letting past experiences overshadow it. Ultimately, it's about valuing the present and finding joy in the now, rather than getting stuck in memories or worrying about the future.
