Delaying gratification 🕰️
In a world with instant dopamine fixes and instant gratification at the click of a button,
I think it’s important to delay this at times ….
Practice the delay 💭
This is something I have done for many years subconsciously but also practice consciously to improve mindset, focus and work ethic
If I want to buy something, I don’t instantly buy it… I wait for a Few weeks and if I still want it and need it, il then continue
Doing the hard things first, prioritising the hard and most challenging tasks of the day, doing the things I maybe don’t want to do first then the enjoyment factors after.
It sounds daft but even Down to my food, egg yolks and dark chocolate always get eaten last, practice that delay of satisfaction.
The reality of life is, we don’t always get what we want, it doesn’t always come easy, we will fail, things will go wrong, being comfortable with that and not being wrapped in a world of instant gratification and pleasure will make those blows easier to tackle and overcome.
In the world of physique development this can be a very useful tool, as we know Rome was not built in a day, and it will require the delay of that instant fix of endorphins, it requires doing all the hard stuff, and maybe not seeing instant changes, pushing yourself for long durations with small returns, this is the process,
there is no easy fix! getting comfortable with that will allow you to remain focused and engaged in the process for the time needed to really see your rewards flourish
