In this episode of the "Energy of Money" podcast, Dr. Maria explores the concept of enjoyment as an energy that can enhance clarity, focus, and fulfillment in life. She contrasts genuine enjoyment with mere consumption, sharing a personal anecdote about how she consumed a hot fudge sundae in a rushed, unfulfilling manner, compared to her friend's savoring approach. Dr. Maria emphasizes the importance of savoring experiences to avoid the metaphorical doldrums of life, suggesting listeners make lists of activities they enjoy and habits of consumption they should avoid. She also advises taking a 20-minute pause before making impulsive purchases to ensure genuine enjoyment rather than fleeting satisfaction. As she prepares for knee surgery, Dr. Maria encourages listeners to explore resources on her website and look forward to future episodes focused on both money energy and coaching.
"Enjoyment is an energy, and when you learn how to use it, when you learn how to focus it, when you learn how to direct it, life becomes sweet." - Dr. Maria
