What is something you were REALLY proud of getting or accomplishing? Now, think of how long it took you. Was it fast? Or did it take you a long time?
This week on The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast we are talking all about delayed gratification, which is the idea of postponing immediate desires for long-term successes. This concept isn’t just about saying “no” to present desires, but is a powerful mindset that allows us to make intentional decisions that help us reach our fitness, financial, and overall life goals. Delayed Gratificatoin can shape our habits and decision making skills to lead us to a more meaningful and purpose driven life.
