In life, there are two wolves inside of us that are always at battle. One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness, bravery, and love. And the other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred, and fear. The one you feed wins.
Ever wondered how to strike a balance between the good and bad forces within you? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer takes listeners on a reflective journey through the parable of the two wolves. Drawing from his own life, where he transitioned from addiction and homelessness to a place of personal growth, Zimmer illustrates the importance of nurturing the 'good wolf' inside us all.
Zimmer shares insights into the hedonic adaptation model, shedding light on how our happiness levels adjust over time and the role of gratitude in maintaining a positive outlook. He also brings in the wisdom of poet Mary Oliver, whose work encourages us to find joy in the simple, everyday moments. To top it off, the episode features a soul-stirring song by Alabama Shakes, which serves as a musical reminder to keep pushing forward despite life's challenges.
This episode is perfect for anyone seeking practical advice on personal growth and finding balance in life. With a mix of personal anecdotes, poetic inspiration, and musical motivation, Zimmer offers a compelling guide to feeding your 'good wolf' and fostering inner harmony.
