Intermittent abstinence

The first time I tasted a croissant from Ariscault in SF, I was mind blown.

When I went back the next day, it was still amazing.

When I went every day for a week at one point, it was really good.

Too much of an incredible thing can desensitize us to the stimulus.

Purposely inserting intermittent periods of abstaining from our beloved foods, drinks, songs, places, and people can revitalize the experiences we have with them.

When we go long periods of time without experiencing something that we love, we resensitize the receptors that were used to fall in love with it in the first place.
