has anyone else had an objectively great week and felt absolutely nothing?

Vent

on paper, this past week was fantastic for my agency. things i'd been chasing finally came through. the kind of week where someone would say "you must be so happy", except i wasn't. just… okay, what's next?

so apparently it's called hedonic adaptation..yea, your brain normalises good things as fast as it does bad ones.

two things i'm actually trying now: telling someone about the win out loud (not posting, literally saying it to a person), and waiting for sometime before moving to the next goal. just letting it exist.

curious if this hits for anyone else, does the feeling show up eventually or just never really come?
