Post Race Blues
If you have ever set a goal for yourself, worked hard to achieve it, and then felt like something was missing when you reached it, you may have experienced the phenomenon known as the hedonic treadmill. This concept suggests that we have a natural tendency to adapt to positive changes in our lives, leading us to constantly seek more in order to maintain the same level of happiness.
