[Music] 00:01
hello and welcome back to the English 00:10
dialogue podcast I am Mike your co-host 00:12
and I'm Emma it's great to have you here 00:16
with us again today we're diving into a 00:19
topic that seems to be affecting so many 00:22
people's daily lives how social media 00:25
influencers encourage a NeverEnding 00:27
cycle of consumption making us feel that 00:30
to be happy we must constantly buy more 00:32
right lately I've noticed a pattern on 00:37
Instagram Tik Tok and YouTube 00:39
influencers show off new products every 00:43
week New Clothes gadgets Cosmetics cars 00:46
and vacations the message is subtle but 00:49
powerful if you want to be happy if you 00:53
want a fulfilling life you need to keep 00:56
up and purchase the and greatest and 00:58
what does that do to our sense of 01:01
gratitude it almost completely Sidelines 01:03
it the idea of being thankful for what 01:06
we already have becomes less important 01:09
instead we feel we're inadequate if we 01:12
don't keep buying it's like our 01:15
selfworth is tied to how much we consume 01:17
think about how dangerous this mindset 01:21
can be traditional wisdom often tells us 01:23
happiness isn't found in material things 01:27
it's found in relationships experiences 01:30
and personal growth but influencers 01:32
often backed by brand deals and 01:36
sponsorships push this idea that 01:38
happiness is just one purchase away they 01:40
rarely say appreciate what you've got 01:43
instead it's look at this new item you 01:47
must have this constant push chips away 01:49
at our ability to appreciate what's 01:52
already in our lives it's not just about 01:55
stuff this mindset can also make us feel 01:58
that our normal everyday life is dull 02:00
suddenly what we have isn't good enough 02:03
our older phone our comfortable sofa our 02:06
weekend plans with friends they start to 02:09
feel less exciting compared to the 02:12
flashy Lifestyles we see 02:13
online let's consider how influencers 02:16
craft their image they show carefully 02:19
curated moments perfect lighting 02:21
Flawless outfits exotic travel 02:24
destinations and brand new possessions 02:27
it's always something fresh and 02:30
appealing we see their unboxing videos 02:32
their Hall segments their affiliate 02:35
links telling us you need this now over 02:38
time we internalize the message that if 02:41
we don't keep up with these endless 02:44
upgrades we're somehow missing out our 02:45
gratitude Fades because we're taught not 02:49
to cherish what's already there and it's 02:51
important to understand the economic 02:54
incentives behind this influencers often 02:56
earn money through commissions on 02:59
products they promote their job is to 03:00
make you desire more if they posted a 03:03
message urging you to say hey look 03:06
around aren't you already blessed their 03:09
revenue might suffer so they double down 03:12
on making the old feel outdated and the 03:15
new feel 03:18
essential there's a real psychological 03:19
toll here when people constantly feel 03:21
that they need more material items to be 03:24
happy they never reach a state of 03:26
contentment it's always just one more 03:28
thing and then you'll feel fulfilled but 03:31
that moment of fulfillment never truly 03:34
arrives the next day there's something 03:37
else to buy this cycle leads to anxiety 03:40
restlessness and even depression we're 03:44
chasing a horizon that keeps moving 03:47
farther away exactly in the long term 03:49
this erods our well-being instead of 03:53
cherishing the everyday Pleasures like a 03:56
home-cooked meal a walk in the park or 03:58
laughter with friends we become fixated 04:01
on what we lack gratitude is a key 04:04
ingredient to mental health it grounds 04:07
us reminds us that we have enough that 04:10
we are enough when influencers 04:13
discourage gratitude and push 04:15
consumerism they're robbing us of an 04:17
essential tool for happiness have you 04:20
ever noticed that when you step back 04:23
from social media for a few days you 04:24
start to appreciate the little things 04:27
more 04:29
I've found that when I'm not scrolling 04:30
through someone's feed of constant new 04:32
stuff I'm more at peace I look around my 04:34
home and think this is comfortable 04:37
instead of this is 04:39
outdated I've definitely felt that a 04:41
digital detox can do wonders without the 04:44
constant comparison suddenly the things 04:48
you own regain their charm and utility 04:51
you remember why you bought them in the 04:54
first place you realize that what you 04:55
have is actually quite good and you 04:58
don't need to replace it just because 05:01
someone online said there's a cooler 05:03
version let's break down how influencers 05:05
discourage gratitude in more concrete 05:08
terms first they rely on novelty the new 05:11
collection drop the limited edition the 05:15
latest release everything is framed as 05:18
urgent and 05:20
Superior this novelty Factor makes our 05:21
current possessions seem stale instead 05:24
of being thankful that our current 05:27
jacket keeps us warm we're made to feel 05:29
it's so last 05:32
season second influencers often employ 05:33
aspirational imagery they look 05:36
effortlessly happy and fulfilled in 05:39
their posts we subconsciously link their 05:41
Joy to the products they're showing off 05:44
our minds conclude that to feel that 05:47
same joy we must follow their example 05:50
and purchase those items we never see 05:52
them say I'm content because I value 05:55
what I have it's always tied to the 05:58
external third they rarely mention 06:01
sustainability or mindful consumption 06:04
The Narrative is about endless growth 06:07
and endless acquisition gratitude 06:09
involves acknowledging that we have 06:12
enough that we don't need more stuff 06:13
cluttering our lives but influencers 06:16
discourage this equilibrium because it 06:19
halts the purchasing cycle they don't 06:21
profit from you being content with your 06:23
old phone after all this mindset affects 06:25
not just individuals but Society at 06:29
large if everyone's racing to buy more 06:32
we're putting tremendous pressure on the 06:35
environment we're also normalizing a 06:37
pattern of life that values possessions 06:39
over 06:42
connections gratitude could help us slow 06:43
down cherish what we have and make more 06:45
conscious choices but we need to push 06:48
against the narrative influencers create 06:51
and I think one solution is to diversify 06:54
who we follow if your feed is filled 06:57
build with influencers who always push 06:59
products maybe follow people who 07:01
encourage sustainable living minimalism 07:04
or gratitude practices some creators 07:07
focus on appreciating life's Simple 07:10
Pleasures nature walks homemade crafts 07:12
family dinners and don't tie happiness 07:16
to buying new things we can also 07:18
practice daily gratitude 07:21
ourselves start each day by listing a 07:23
few things you're thankful for this 07:26
simple habit trains your mind to Value 07:28
what you have rather than always looking 07:31
for the next big purchase when you do 07:33
see an influencer post you'll be more 07:36
resistant to the impulse to think you 07:39
need what they're selling and let's 07:41
remember influencers lives aren't always 07:43
as perfect as they appear many are under 07:46
contract to promote certain 07:49
products sometimes not even using them 07:51
genuinely the images are staged the 07:54
constant stream of must have is often 07:57
just marketing keeping that in mind 08:00
helps break the spell it's also worth 08:03
noting that gratitude can bring us 08:06
losting joy while the thrill of buying 08:08
something new Fades quickly research 08:10
shows that we adapt to new possessions 08:13
and they become our new normal gratitude 08:15
provides a more stable form of 08:18
Happiness by being thankful we anchor 08:20
ourselves in the present moment we 08:23
recognize how fortunate we are to have 08:26
shelter food loved ones and basic 08:28
Comforts this contentment doesn't vanish 08:31
like the novelty of a new Gadget imagine 08:34
if more people embraced gratitude 08:37
instead of chasing more we might see 08:39
less stress less Financial strain and 08:42
fewer feelings of inadequacy we could 08:46
shift our values away from I need this 08:48
to be happy to I already have so much to 08:50

你好,欢迎回到英语对话播客
我是你的联合主持人,迈克
我是艾玛,很高兴你又和我们在一起
今天我们要探讨一个似乎影响很多人日常生活的话题
那就是社交媒体上的网红们如何推动我们不停消费
让我们觉得只有不断购买更多东西才能快乐
最近我发现了一个模式,在
Instagram、TikTok和YouTube上
网红们几乎每周都会展示新产品
新衣服、新小玩意、化妆品、汽车和度假
他们传递的信息虽然微妙,却很有力量:
如果你想快乐,想拥有充实的生活,
你就得跟上潮流,一直买最新最棒的东西
这对我们的感恩心态有什么影响呢?
几乎完全把感恩置之度外
感激我们已有的东西变得不那么重要了
反而如果不持续购买,我们会觉得自己不够好
好像我们的自我价值与消费多少直接挂钩
想想这种心态有多危险
传统智慧告诉我们
幸福不是来自物质
而是源于人际关系、经历和个人成长
可网红们常常拿品牌合作和赞助撑腰,
鼓吹幸福就是花钱可以买到的
他们几乎不会说“珍惜你已有的”
而总是说“看这新东西,你必须拥有”
这种持续不断的推销,慢慢侵蚀了我们
感激已有的能力和心态
这不仅仅是物品的问题,
它还会让我们的日常生活变得乏味无趣
突然之间,我们已有的东西都变得不够好
旧手机、舒适的沙发、和朋友的周末聚会
相比网络上那些华丽的生活方式,显得索然无味
我们来看看网红是怎么塑造形象的
他们只展示精心挑选的瞬间,完美的灯光
无瑕的服装、异国旅行目的地和崭新的物品
永远是新鲜吸引人的东西
我们看到他们开箱视频,收获分享,还有推广链接
告诉我们现在就需要这些
久而久之,我们潜意识里觉得如果不停地升级换代
就会错过什么
我们的感恩之心渐渐消失,因为我们被教导不要满足于已有
更重要的是,理解这背后的经济动机
网红往往靠推广产品赚取佣金
他们的工作就是让你渴望更多
如果他们鼓励你说:“嘿,看看你已经多幸运了”
那么他们的收入可能会受到影响
所以他们不断加大推销力度,让旧的变得过时,新的看起来必不可少
这对心理健康有真实的负面影响
当人们总觉得需要更多物质才能快乐时
他们永远无法满足,总觉得还差那么一点
总想着只要再买一点,就会快乐起来
但那份满足感从未真正到来
第二天又有新东西要买
这种循环带来焦虑、不安,甚至抑郁
我们一直追逐着一个不断远离的地平线
长远来看,这破坏了我们的幸福感
我们不再珍惜日常乐趣,比如家常饭菜、公园散步或朋友间的笑声
而是盯着我们所缺少的东西
感恩是心理健康的关键
它让我们脚踏实地,提醒我们已经足够
我们已经足够好了
当网红们不鼓励感恩,反而推动消费主义时
他们夺走了我们获得幸福的重要工具
你有没有发现,当你离开社交媒体几天
你开始更珍惜生活中的小事
我发现当我不翻看别人不断更新的新鲜内容时
我会更平静
我会看看自己的家,觉得很舒服
而不是觉得老旧
我确实感受过数字排毒的好处
没有了不断的比较
你拥有的东西重新变得有吸引力且实用
你会想起当初为什么买它们
意识到自己的东西其实很好
不必因为网上有人说有更酷的更换新
那么我们来具体分析网红是怎么削弱感恩的
首先,他们依赖新奇感
新系列,限量版,最新发布
一切都被描述成紧迫且优越
这种新奇感让我们的现有物品显得陈旧
本来应该感激旧外套保暖
却被迫觉得它已经过时了
其次,网红常用渴望式的画面
他们在帖子里看起来轻松幸福、满足
我们潜意识里把他们的快乐和展示的产品联系起来
心想想要同样的快乐,就必须买那些东西
他们从不说“我满足,因为我珍惜拥有的”
快乐总是和外在挂钩
第三,他们很少提可持续或有意识的消费
叙述总是围绕着无限增长和不断获取
而感恩是承认我们已足够拥有
不需要更多东西来堆满生活
但网红不鼓励这种平衡
因为这会阻止购买循环
而且他们无法从你满足于旧手机中获利
这种心态不仅影响个人,也影响整个社会
当每个人都在争着买更多东西
会给环境带来巨大的压力
也让社会变得崇拜物质多过人际关系
感恩能帮我们慢下来,珍惜已有,更加理智地选择
但我们需要反击网红制造的这种虚假需求
我觉得一个解决办法是多元化关注对象
如果你的信息流里全是推销产品的网红
不妨关注一些鼓励可持续生活、极简主义和感恩练习的人
有些创作者专注于欣赏生活中简单快乐
比如自然散步、自制手工、家庭聚餐
他们不把幸福和买新东西挂钩
我们也可以试试每天练习感恩
每天开始时列举几件感激的事情
这种简单习惯能训练你的大脑去珍惜已有
不再总盯着下一个大买卖
当你看到网红的推文时,也更能抵抗冲动
不会轻易觉得非买不可
别忘了,网红的生活并不总是看上去那么完美
很多被合同限制,必须推广某些产品
有时甚至根本不是真心使用
画面布置得很精致
那些“必买”物品多半是营销套路
记住这一点,有助于你看穿他们的魔法
值得注意的是,感恩能带来持久的快乐
买新东西的兴奋很快就会消退
研究显示,我们会很快适应新物品
它们变成新常态
而感恩给我们提供更稳固的幸福感
通过感恩,我们扎根于当下
意识到自己多幸运,有住所、有食物、有亲人,有基本的舒适
这种满足感不会像新玩具的兴奋那样消失
想象如果更多人拥抱感恩
而不是无休止追求更多
我们可能会看到更少的压力,更少的经济负担,减少自卑感
我们的价值观或许会从“买东西才能快乐”
转变为“我已经拥有很多值得感激的了”
如果观众要求真实性和平衡的信息
网红或许也会改变策略
我们有权选择影响我们的人
不是所有网红都推崇过度消费
有的鼓励重复使用、修理和珍惜已有
支持他们就是发出市场信号
告诉大家满足和平衡比无止境购物更重要
这也能改变整个对话氛围
我们不用责怪所有网红
而是放大那些传播感恩和有意识生活讯息的声音
久而久之,可以营造一个更健康的网络环境
在那里,幸福不是被包装卖出的商品
所以,如果你觉得因为网红说了什么就想买更多
停下来想一想:我真的缺这个吗?还是被忽悠了?
提醒自己已有的东西和它们如何满足你
你会发现自己其实很好
如果你发现自己渴望买些负担不起或不需要的东西
试试感恩练习
想想你拥有的:能用的手机、保暖的衣服、温馨的家、有话可说的朋友
这都是值得感恩的
最重要的教训就是:
幸福来自欣赏已有,而非无尽追求更多
不要被社交媒体上的网红忽悠了
他们的工作就是让你买买买
但你可以选择在简单的事物中找到快乐
谢谢大家收听
希望这次讨论帮你看清网络上无休止消费的表象
保持感恩,知足常乐
