On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about our tendency to keep striving for the next thing, rather than appreciating what we already have.

We talk about the ‘hedonic treadmill’ - the idea that even when we achieve something we really wanted, the happiness it brings often doesn’t last, and before long we’re looking towards the next goal.

I share how I sometimes forget that I’m living in the house I once dreamed of, while Lucy talks about the freedom she has in her work and how even having posts go viral didn’t fundamentally change how she felt.

We also talk about gratitude, appreciating the small, everyday things, and remembering that fulfilment isn’t necessarily waiting for us at the next milestone.

We hope you’ll find something interesting or helpful in here.

Love,

Polly & Lucy x

On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about cultivating a beginner’s mindset, as well as the difference between fixed and growth mindsets.

In our conversation, we talk about how people often avoid trying new things because they're worried about not being good immediately, when the truth is that we all start knowing nothing — and we learn through effort and failure.

I talks about my experience as a teacher and how I encouraged my students to resist comparison, recognise their different strengths, and understand that skills can be developed with practice.

We also talk about the fact that talent only goes so far without persistence and self-belief, and that successful, interesting people keep learning by asking questions, embracing vulnerability, and being willing to look 'stupid'.

We hope you'll find something interesting or helpful in here.

Love,

On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the ego and how it can hold us back from taking action.

We explore how the ego often comes from a place of fear and judgement, making it one of the loudest voices in our minds. We also share ways to become more aware of that inner voice, question whether it's actually telling us the truth, and choose curiosity instead.

We hope this episode gives you something to reflect on and leaves you with a few helpful takeaways.

Love,
Polly & Lucy xx
