We are used to receiving instant gratification from a lot of things in our life. This has done to our brains is seriously disrupt our systems for the distribution and release of dopamine. Long term goals, any long term goal that you have in mind, it will require delayed gratification. And what this refers to is the ability to delay an impulse for an immediate reward, such as going on your phone, to receive a more favorable reward later on.
All of us in our 20s have some goal or ambition that we are striving for and whatever that may be, consistency is the key to our success. On this episode we break down how we can use the psychology behind consistency and motivation to help achieve our goals, from microhabits to delayed gratification, self compassion, a monthly routine and incremental reinforcement. We also examine some of the science and social psychology behind productivity and how society has dictated the ways in which we pursue our goals and why we might have it wrong. Join us as we deep dive into the ways we can cultivate consistency in our 20s. Listen now.
