Habit 85: Indulge In A "Non-Taste Treat"
We often associate treats with food, but what if we expanded our definition? In this episode, I introduce the habit of indulging in non-taste treats—pleasures that tap into our other senses and can reinforce healthy habits without undermining our goals. Whether it's the sight of a sunset, the feel of warm water on your hands, or the sound of your favorite song, these small but meaningful joys can help us build habits that stick. Plus, I’m sharing my personal list of non-taste treats and how you can create your own to make habit change even more enjoyable!
Key Takeaways:
- What exactly is a treat? A treat is something that brings pleasure, but I'll share my definition that works wayyyy better for me and my clients.
- Many of us use taste-based treats in ways that don’t serve our long-term goals.
- Non-taste treats tap into sight, sound, touch, and smell to provide true pleasure.
- A great test: Will you still think it’s a treat after indulging in it?
- Bringing rewards closer to the habit strengthens the habit loop.
- False pleasures (like processed foods or social media) create an intense dopamine flood, but true pleasures provide a steady, sustainable reward.
DO of the DAY: Start your list of non-taste treats today! Keep it handy and add to it as you notice what feels like a true treat—something that makes you pause and think, hmm, this is nice.
