NOTE

Embrace Variety for a Fulfilling Life

Individuals commonly seek happiness and meaning in their lives, but these elements can diminish over time due to habituation. Happiness often wanes with repeated experiences, and even meaningful work can feel less purposeful as familiarity sets in. To combat this, incorporating variety into one's life is essential, as it fosters dishabituation, enhancing both happiness and the sense of purpose. Variety encourages continuous learning and adaptation, enriching life experiences and maintaining psychological engagement.
