It is always in these pleasures that we lose our mind, that we overdo it, overconsume, overwork, and all we can think about is more, more, more
In this episode of Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter, Todd tackles the tricky terrain of pleasure and addiction. Ever wondered why that initial rush of joy from your favourite activities quickly fades, leaving you craving more? Todd explains how our pursuit of pleasure can easily spiral into addiction, trapping us in a cycle of highs and lows.
Drawing from his extensive travels and studies with shamans, monks, and gurus, Todd shares two powerful techniques to break free from this cycle. First, he introduces the 'race car method', encouraging you to stay present and alert, just like a race car driver navigating a track. By being mindful and aware, you can avoid getting lost in impulsive thoughts and actions. Second, Todd emphasises the importance of finding joy in stillness.
He argues that true peace and lasting happiness come from within, not from external sources of pleasure. Through radical acceptance and mindfulness, you can create a peaceful space for your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to overcome addictive tendencies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the nature of addiction and find practical ways to achieve lasting peace and happiness. So, are you ready to take control of your life's steering wheel and find your inner peace?
