Ignore your impulse for instant gratification.

IsMollyReallyHungry

Ignore your impulse for instant gratification.

The need to feel good, or to relieve anxiety, or to entertain yourself is so compelling at times that, at first, giving in to it brings relief. Later, however, regret comes.

The pursuit of instant gratification undermines a healthy lifestyle. Instead of trying to feel good in the moment, consider learning to tolerate some discomfort, so that you can experience the long-term satisfaction you really desire.

Action for the day: Spend today noticing when you choose instant gratification over long-term satisfaction. In your journal, write about your self-discoveries. Do you have room for improvement?
