Next, it's Fat Bear Week. 82 00:04:36,734 --> 00:04:39,254 Speaker 2: I think we found the most wholesome part of the Internet. 83 00:04:39,614 --> 00:04:43,334 Speaker 2: And better still, it's got Fat Bears. Now in its 84 00:04:43,374 --> 00:04:46,694 Speaker 2: eleventh year, an online competition sees people around the world 85 00:04:46,774 --> 00:04:49,774 Speaker 2: casting their vote for the chonkiest brown bears in the land. 86 00:04:50,654 --> 00:04:53,854 Speaker 2: It kicks off each year at Alaska's Cadmai National Park, 87 00:04:54,054 --> 00:04:57,494 Speaker 2: home to over two thousand, two hundred brown bears that 88 00:04:57,574 --> 00:05:01,454 Speaker 2: spend all summer along gorging themselves on salmon at Brooks River. 89 00:05:02,214 --> 00:05:07,374 Speaker 2: The goal getting absolutely massive for winter hibernation. It said, 90 00:05:07,454 --> 00:05:10,294 Speaker 2: the fattest bears are the healthiest bears because they have 91 00:05:10,334 --> 00:05:12,854 Speaker 2: the best chance to make it through the cold, dark 92 00:05:12,894 --> 00:05:17,214 Speaker 2: Alaskan winter. So here's how Fat Bear Week works. Rangers 93 00:05:17,294 --> 00:05:20,694 Speaker 2: document the Bears from Sad Skinny in early June to 94 00:05:20,894 --> 00:05:25,014 Speaker 2: absolute unit by September. Then the public votes online for 95 00:05:25,094 --> 00:05:28,174 Speaker 2: which Bears have transformed the most. It plays out like 96 00:05:28,214 --> 00:05:31,494 Speaker 2: a March Madness style bracket from Fat Bear Week Junior 97 00:05:31,854 --> 00:05:34,454 Speaker 2: all the way to the final showdown on Fat Bear 98 00:05:34,574 --> 00:05:38,374 Speaker 2: Tuesday at the end of September.

Famous bears, like four time 105 00:06:00,534 --> 00:06:04,174 Speaker 2: champion Otis are legends, but they don't always show up. 106 00:06:04,814 --> 00:06:07,494 Speaker 2: This year, a fresh crop of whipper Snappers is in 107 00:06:07,574 --> 00:06:11,894 Speaker 2: the running, and conspicuously Chunk Mum's fostering cubs get extra 108 00:06:11,974 --> 00:06:13,494 Speaker 2: love from voters. 109 00:06:13,814 --> 00:06:16,454 Speaker 3: I surveyed my colleague.

Pretty dim world 135 00:07:54,414 --> 00:07:57,814 Speaker 2: at the moment, it raises global awareness of wildlife conservation 136 00:07:58,454 --> 00:08:01,814 Speaker 2: and shows off the health of Catmei's ecosystem. 137 00:08:01,934 --> 00:08:03,654 Speaker 3: The bears get fat because. 138 00:08:03,374 --> 00:08:07,174 Speaker 2: The salmon run remains one of the planet's greatest natural wonders. 139 00:08:07,774 --> 00:08:10,134 Speaker 2: More than a million votes are cast in every year, 140 00:08:10,294 --> 00:08:14,214 Speaker 2: and millions watch the parks live webcam, cheering their champions on. 141 00:08:14,334 --> 00:08:15,694 Speaker 3: From across the globe. 142 00:08:16,334 --> 00:08:18,774 Speaker 2: So as Fat Bear Week comes to a close in 143 00:08:18,934 --> 00:08:21,494 Speaker 2: just a few days, it's a good reminder in a 144 00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:24,974 Speaker 2: world obsessed with diets. Sometimes you just need to celebrate 145 00:08:25,014 --> 00:08:27,494 Speaker 2: getting massive, or celebrate getting on. 146 00:08:27,454 --> 00:08:29,934 Speaker 3: The chew, especially if you're a bear. 147 00:08:34,934 --> 00:08:38,214 Speaker 2: We've never lived longer or richer lives than right now. 148 00:08:38,614 --> 00:08:40,974 Speaker 2: But if that's true, why does it feel like so 149 00:08:41,094 --> 00:08:46,454 Speaker 2: many people are secretly miserable? Why can't we stop comparing, ruminating, 150 00:08:46,494 --> 00:08:49,534 Speaker 2: and feeling like we're falling short of the life everybody 151 00:08:49,534 --> 00:08:52,894 Speaker 2: else seems to be living. That feeling has got a name, 152 00:08:53,374 --> 00:08:57,414 Speaker 2: life dysmorphia. It's that disconnect between what our lives look 153 00:08:57,494 --> 00:08:59,374 Speaker 2: like on paper versus how. 154 00:08:59,214 --> 00:09:00,654 Speaker 3: They feel inside our heads. 155 00:09:01,414 --> 00:09:04,814 Speaker 2: You've got the job, the friends, the partner, maybe the 156 00:09:04,814 --> 00:09:07,974 Speaker 2: family and the holidays, but for some reason, it still 157 00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:11,614 Speaker 2: doesn't feel enough. You're running on the hedonic treadmill, where 158 00:09:11,654 --> 00:09:13,614 Speaker 2: every achievement just raises the bar. 159 00:09:14,414 --> 00:09:15,654 Speaker 3: Why is this happening. 160 00:09:15,334 --> 00:09:19,934 Speaker 2: Though, Well, partly it's social media, everyone else's life looks better. 161 00:09:20,414 --> 00:09:25,294 Speaker 2: Partly it's economic reality, cost of living insecure work, housing 162 00:09:25,334 --> 00:09:30,054 Speaker 2: pressures a lot, anxiety and dissatisfaction are at record highs. 163 00:09:30,174 --> 00:09:32,854 Speaker 2: The World Happiness Reports says Australia slipped out of the 164 00:09:32,854 --> 00:09:37,094 Speaker 2: global top ten this year, but there is hope. Clinical 165 00:09:37,134 --> 00:09:41,854 Speaker 2: psychologist Stephanie Georgio might have the answers. Stephanie, is life 166 00:09:41,934 --> 00:09:45,134 Speaker 2: dysmorphia just a direct result of seeing. 167 00:09:44,854 --> 00:09:47,174 Speaker 3: How the other half lives on social media? 168 00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:49,974 Speaker 5: That is such a great question. I just want to 169 00:09:50,094 --> 00:09:54,414 Speaker 5: say that life dysmorphia, it's not a clinical diagnosis or 170 00:09:54,454 --> 00:09:58,334 Speaker 5: anything like that, but it's a growing pattern of thinking 171 00:09:58,414 --> 00:10:03,454 Speaker 5: where people are feeling that their lives are minimized. They 172 00:10:03,534 --> 00:10:05,774 Speaker 5: feel as though they're not living up to this bar 173 00:10:05,894 --> 00:10:08,814 Speaker 5: that they should be living up to, and essentially it 174 00:10:08,854 --> 00:10:12,014 Speaker 5: really is a just staughted appraisal of your life. So 175 00:10:12,374 --> 00:10:16,454 Speaker 5: to answer your question, it is getting increasingly common for 176 00:10:16,494 --> 00:10:20,094 Speaker 5: people to feel this dysmorphia about their life, but it's 177 00:10:20,214 --> 00:10:21,774 Speaker 5: not a clinical diagnosis. 178 00:10:22,214 --> 00:10:23,774 Speaker 3: Where is this idea coming from. 179 00:10:23,814 --> 00:10:26,934 Speaker 2: Then if it's not a clinical diagnosis, why are people 180 00:10:26,974 --> 00:10:28,734 Speaker 2: feeling this way such. 181 00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:31,414 Speaker 5: A great question. There are more and more people starting 182 00:10:31,414 --> 00:10:34,774 Speaker 5: to feel this life dysmorphia for two main reasons. The 183 00:10:34,774 --> 00:10:38,574 Speaker 5: first is upward comparison, and what this means is people 184 00:10:38,614 --> 00:10:42,534 Speaker 5: are comparing themselves to others on social media. They're seeing 185 00:10:42,614 --> 00:10:45,974 Speaker 5: people with more money, more success, more fame, and then 186 00:10:46,134 --> 00:10:49,054 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, when this becomes your new norm, 187 00:10:49,494 --> 00:10:53,574 Speaker 5: you start to see yourself as an outlier or as abnormal. 188 00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:56,054 Speaker 5: So social media is one of the key reasons that 189 00:10:56,094 --> 00:10:58,734 Speaker 5: we really are starting to think that our lives are 190 00:10:59,054 --> 00:11:01,854 Speaker 5: a lot worse than what they actually might be. And 191 00:11:02,134 --> 00:11:06,054 Speaker 5: the second thing is this term called hedonic adaptation, which 192 00:11:06,294 --> 00:11:11,414 Speaker 5: basically means pleasure or happiness. This hedonic treadmill, we are 193 00:11:11,534 --> 00:11:15,054 Speaker 5: constantly raising the bar to what it takes for us 194 00:11:15,294 --> 00:11:18,374 Speaker 5: to be happy. So for example, I'll be happy when 195 00:11:18,414 --> 00:11:20,574 Speaker 5: I get that job, and then you get the job, 196 00:11:20,654 --> 00:11:24,414 Speaker 5: and then that happiness becomes your baseline. So we're always 197 00:11:24,734 --> 00:11:30,294 Speaker 5: chasing this positive changes because we are adapting to that 198 00:11:30,454 --> 00:11:33,854 Speaker 5: dopamine and that pleasure that it's giving us in the moment, 199 00:11:33,934 --> 00:11:38,054 Speaker 5: So we're almost desensitizing ourselves to feeling happy. That the 200 00:11:38,094 --> 00:11:40,054 Speaker 5: bar just keeps getting higher and higher. 201 00:11:40,454 --> 00:11:43,134 Speaker 3: It sounds completely exhausting. 202 00:11:43,854 --> 00:11:45,934 Speaker 2: What are some of the other side effects of living 203 00:11:46,014 --> 00:11:47,014 Speaker 2: your life this way. 204 00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:52,254 Speaker 5: If you're constantly comparing yourself to others, chasing success happiness 205 00:11:52,294 --> 00:11:54,974 Speaker 5: that you think you don't have, you are never going 206 00:11:55,054 --> 00:11:59,694 Speaker 5: to really feel happy. The issue is the brain looks 207 00:11:59,974 --> 00:12:03,254 Speaker 5: for information to validate our beliefs. So if you're constantly 208 00:12:03,294 --> 00:12:06,454 Speaker 5: thinking I'm not successful enough, I'm not rich enough, I'm 209 00:12:06,454 --> 00:12:09,294 Speaker 5: not happy, your brain is going to look for all 210 00:12:09,334 --> 00:12:12,094 Speaker 5: of these gaps in your day to day life and 211 00:12:12,134 --> 00:12:15,854 Speaker 5: look for what's missing rather than what is actually working 212 00:12:15,974 --> 00:12:19,374 Speaker 5: in your life. And that's where the dysmorphia happens. Because 213 00:12:19,454 --> 00:12:23,614 Speaker 5: dysmorphia just basically means distorted and we're seeing our lives 214 00:12:23,694 --> 00:12:27,414 Speaker 5: in this distorted light because we're constantly focusing on what's 215 00:12:27,454 --> 00:12:29,814 Speaker 5: missing and not what is actually going well. 216 00:12:30,214 --> 00:12:32,894 Speaker 2: There might be people out there listening who think, oh, 217 00:12:32,934 --> 00:12:35,054 Speaker 2: we've all got it pretty good here in Australia. We've 218 00:12:35,054 --> 00:12:38,054 Speaker 2: got the sunshine, we've all got pretty good jobs. The 219 00:12:38,134 --> 00:12:40,614 Speaker 2: cost of living is an issue that everybody is facing, 220 00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:42,334 Speaker 2: but for the most part, when you look at other 221 00:12:42,374 --> 00:12:45,694 Speaker 2: parts of the world especially, It's actually not that bad here, 222 00:12:45,734 --> 00:12:49,614 Speaker 2: so why are people complaining? Is that the right mindset 223 00:12:49,654 --> 00:12:51,694 Speaker 2: to approach this? If you are feeling that way, is 224 00:12:51,694 --> 00:12:53,454 Speaker 2: it just a bit of a reality check or is 225 00:12:53,494 --> 00:12:54,574 Speaker 2: it something a bit deeper. 226 00:12:54,934 --> 00:12:58,454 Speaker 5: It's such an interesting question, and I believe it varies 227 00:12:58,774 --> 00:13:02,854 Speaker 5: for everyone. For different people. People have different standards of themselves. 228 00:13:02,894 --> 00:13:06,814 Speaker 5: They've grown up with different upbringing. So I think whilst 229 00:13:06,814 --> 00:13:08,974 Speaker 5: we can say we should be grateful we live in Australia, 230 00:13:09,014 --> 00:13:12,294 Speaker 5: everything's amazing, It's okay. From time to time, you know, 231 00:13:12,414 --> 00:13:15,014 Speaker 5: to evaluate your life and think, not where I want 232 00:13:15,014 --> 00:13:19,054 Speaker 5: to be? But the real question is is this helpful 233 00:13:19,094 --> 00:13:21,734 Speaker 5: for me? Is it helpful for me to constantly be 234 00:13:21,814 --> 00:13:25,054 Speaker 5: focusing on what I don't have? Does it make me 235 00:13:25,094 --> 00:13:26,974 Speaker 5: feel good? Does it put me in a good state? 236 00:13:27,454 --> 00:13:31,934 Speaker 5: But gratitude really helps us come back to earth and 237 00:13:32,054 --> 00:13:34,374 Speaker 5: bring us back to our center. But at the same time, 238 00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:37,134 Speaker 5: we don't want to invalidate our feelings. If we are 239 00:13:37,174 --> 00:13:39,014 Speaker 5: having a bad day, but we just want to remember 240 00:13:39,094 --> 00:13:41,494 Speaker 5: a bad day or a bad moment, it doesn't mean 241 00:13:41,534 --> 00:13:42,694 Speaker 5: a bad life. 242 00:13:43,174 --> 00:13:46,174 Speaker 2: So if somebody right now is listening and they're caught 243 00:13:46,254 --> 00:13:49,134 Speaker 2: up in that cycle, they're thinking, oh, things aren't exactly 244 00:13:49,174 --> 00:13:51,894 Speaker 2: going to plan how I wanted. Or I can see 245 00:13:51,894 --> 00:13:53,574 Speaker 2: that I've got a good life, but I still can't 246 00:13:53,574 --> 00:13:55,574 Speaker 2: seem to shake this feeling. What are some of the 247 00:13:55,574 --> 00:13:58,654 Speaker 2: ways that they can help overcome that you've mentioned their gratitude. 248 00:13:58,894 --> 00:14:02,414 Speaker 5: Yeah, another thing is just awareness proceeds changed. So just 249 00:14:02,454 --> 00:14:05,734 Speaker 5: become aware of when this dysmorphia is showing up for you. 250 00:14:05,854 --> 00:14:08,214 Speaker 5: Is it showing up for you when you're scrolling on 251 00:14:08,254 --> 00:14:10,974 Speaker 5: your phone, when you're on social media? Is it showing 252 00:14:11,054 --> 00:14:13,214 Speaker 5: up for you when you're hanging around your friends and 253 00:14:13,374 --> 00:14:16,374 Speaker 5: start to catch it before it gets out of control? 254 00:14:16,494 --> 00:14:21,254 Speaker 5: Say no, we're going to redirect this because focus equals feeling, 255 00:14:21,334 --> 00:14:24,294 Speaker 5: and if you're always focusing on lack, you are going 256 00:14:24,414 --> 00:14:28,654 Speaker 5: to feel lack. So when you recognize it, redirect it 257 00:14:28,774 --> 00:14:30,974 Speaker 5: and then we're going to reframe it. So instead of thinking, 258 00:14:31,054 --> 00:14:34,214 Speaker 5: oh I wish I had that, instead, let's have a look. 259 00:14:34,054 --> 00:14:35,174 Speaker 3: At what do I have? 260 00:14:35,654 --> 00:14:38,134 Speaker 5: Where was I a year ago or a month ago? 261 00:14:38,254 --> 00:14:41,414 Speaker 5: So instead of comparing yourself to other people, bring it 262 00:14:41,454 --> 00:14:43,974 Speaker 5: back to you and what you have accomplished and what 263 00:14:44,014 --> 00:14:45,934 Speaker 5: you have done, because it's going to put you in 264 00:14:45,974 --> 00:14:48,654 Speaker 5: a better state. To do the things that are important 265 00:14:48,694 --> 00:14:49,054 Speaker 5: to you. 266 00:14:51,174 --> 00:14:53,294 Speaker 3: Thanks for taking some time to feed your mind with 267 00:14:53,374 --> 00:14:53,814 Speaker 3: us today. 268 00:14:53,854 --> 00:14:57,534 Speaker 2: The Quikie is produced by me Taylor Strano, and Claire Murphy, 269 00:14:57,774 --> 00:14:59,854 Speaker 2: with audio production by Lou Hill.
