The Art Of Delayed Gratification - With Coach Shelby (Episode 7)


Listen Later

In this Podcast, Trevor and Shelby discuss the concept of delayed gratification.  Shelby defines it as the ability to forgo immediate rewards in favor of more meaningful or beneficial ones that require time and discipline.  Trevor lists traits associated with mastering delayed gratification, including self-discipline, self-confidence, patience, resilience, and emotional intelligence. They also discuss how society's instant gratification culture affects people's ability to pursue long-term goals, especially in coaching and bodybuilding, where shortcuts may be taken.  The conversation touches on dopamine's role in instant gratification and the importance of consistent, long-term habits for a better, more sustained dopamine release. It concludes by highlighting the connection between physical and mental health and presents a choice between immediate and delayed rewards as an illustrative example.
