Redefining Birthdays: Long-Term Happiness Over Quick Fixes

Episode Overview

  • Focus on long-term happiness rather than short-term thrills.
  • Incorporate healthy foods like omega-3s and leafy greens into your diet.
  • Ensure quality sleep by maintaining good sleep hygiene.
  • Engage in meaningful social interactions rather than superficial ones.
  • Consider a digital detox leading up to your birthday.
Why are we starting off our next year in this ballistic manner, launching ourselves up into the sky and crashing ourselves down into the fog?
Ever wondered how to have a truly happy birthday without the sugar rush and hangover? Michael Waite from Brain Shaman is here to help you plan a birthday that brings lasting joy. In this episode, Michael shares his own pre-birthday rituals, aiming for a celebration that doesn’t rely on quick fixes like sweets, alcohol, or social media. Instead, he suggests focusing on long-term habits that lead to genuine happiness.
From eating omega-3-rich foods to getting quality sleep and even practising digital detox, Michael’s tips are all about building a foundation of well-being before the big day arrives. He talks about the importance of connecting with nature, engaging in meaningful social interactions, and maintaining a balanced diet to keep those happy chemicals flowing steadily rather than spiking and crashing. Michael also throws in some humour and personal anecdotes, making the episode both informative and entertaining.
By the end, you’ll be inspired to rethink your own birthday traditions and maybe even start some new ones that prioritise your long-term happiness over short-lived thrills. Why not give it a listen and see how you can make your next birthday your happiest yet?
