  • Summary

  • Short-Term vs. Long-Term Gratification – Finding the Balance


    Ever find yourself torn between doing what feels good right now versus making choices that benefit your future self? Whether it’s hitting snooze instead of going for a morning walk, ordering takeout instead of cooking, or scrolling on your phone instead of working on your goals—we all face the battle between short-term and long-term gratification.


    In this episode, we’re diving into:

    ✨ The psychology behind instant vs. delayed gratification

    ✨ How short-term choices impact long-term fulfillment

    ✨ Why willpower isn’t the answer (and what actually works)

    ✨ Practical strategies to create a balance—so you can enjoy the present and build a future you love


    Because life isn’t about sacrificing all joy for discipline or giving into every impulse—it’s about knowing when to choose what serves you best.
