Attention without motive

Gratification is the 8th wonder of the world!!!

From Twitter 

Due to my "Goals mindset" I am getting into this "hedonic treadmill" - where even after a significant accomplishment - I feel ecstatic at first, but after a while, I  get used to the new accomplishment and go back to the previous level of happiness.

Result : I land with a longing sense of gap - not the gains accomplished...resulting in lack of contentedness and gratification.

For example, take case of my jogging:

first day I run freely no expectations on running continuously or time taken; 

But the second day the baseline sets in and I try to outperform myself over previous and so on each day;

At some point fatigue sets in , I refuse to start ; due to the goals I have to accomplish!

The same happened with my podcasting and many other hobbies.

So what I need to do:

I need to put in my focus : without worrying about outcomes

Attention without motive;

Having started is the bonus ....This shall be my motto!
