Is The American Dream More Than Stress And Chaos?

Posted on adminPosted in Lifesyle

Grind, rinse, repeat, is NOT what our founding fathers had in mind.

Americans are in a constant cycle of chaos.  So much that it’s impossible not to ask (at least a few times,) “Is this it?”

According to a Harvard study we have increased our use of anti-depressants by 400 percent. That’s not okay.  By the end of this article you’ll see why this number is skyrocketing, and how to create change so that you don’t become part of the statistic.

Millions of Americans, just like you, are like the elephant tied to the tiny stake at the circus. And Society and it’s standards are our ring leader.  They make us believe that there’s only one way, but just like with the 13,000 pound african authority, you too can set yourself free.

#1 Reason Your HUGE Heart Can Betray You & Your Happiness

Awe yes that feeling you get when you help someone.  

It’s euphoric, gratifying, and it’s a HUGE distraction.    

In this fast paced world if you don’t seize opportunities to discover who you are and what your life’s purpose is, chances are it’ll be over before you show up.  And always signing up to help others is a great distraction from the real work you must do to truly feel fulfilled.  

Keeping Up With Societal Expectations

We run too fast and forget to ask ourselves is this where I’m suppose to be.  We go from having the world by the tail to married with babies, in what seems to be a blink of an eye.  From doctors appointments, to cleaning the house, to shuttling the kids to activities, finding time to check in with yourself is few and far between.  

Do You Have To Be Drugged To Stay Married?

According to this HUGE study, many say I do to anti-depressants after that vows are exchanged.

A startling 20 year study found that an alarming amount of psychiatrists prescribe anti-depressants to married men and women that don’t meet the current DSM criteria for depression.

It’s safe to say that our partners can royally piss us off, frustrate us beyond belief, and cause us to feel waves upon waves of pain.  But to be put on a drug to wade through the woes, I think that’s going too far.

Instead of taking a pill to stay in a situation, whether it’s your job, marriage, or life, wouldn’t you rather change the circumstance all together?

Why is it that we don’t want to look at options that don’t come with a mile long list of side-effects?  

The SHOCKING Statistic About Social Media And Time

Is this your 9th or 15th time on social media today?

A study revealed that we check our social media accounts, on average, 17 times per day.  To some that may not seem like a lot, but add it up.  At 10 minutes a check and that’s almost 3-hours of your day, gone.  And for what?

Oh Good Lord The Inefficiency Is Out of Control!

When we get distracted during a task, like emailing for work and then clicking over to our newsfeed, it takes us over 23-minutes to get back to the same work efficiency that we were at pre-post check.  

What Makes You Happier: More Time or More Money?

The Answer Will Surprise You

If you had a money tree in your back yard, your life might get easier but it wouldn’t make you happy.

According to a new study published in the journal of Social Psychological & Personality Science those that value time over money are happier.  

Which makes sense since stuff doesn’t bring us lasting happiness, it’s the anticipation leading up to the purchase that does.

And when you hear yourself say, “When I have more time, I’m going to (INSERT SOME FUN EXPERIENCE),” the activity typically involves another person and/or makes a memory, which does bring us lasting joy.
