Short-Term Sacrifice Fuels Long-Term Gains

Understanding addiction involves recognizing how individuals prioritize short-term rewards over long-term growth, often leading to negative consequences.

Overcoming such dependencies is challenging and typically involves enduring short-term discomfort for the sake of long-term benefits. For instance, teenagers who quit social media may initially feel their lives are worse, but after an adjustment period, they often report improvements. This highlights the importance of embracing subtraction rather than solely focusing on additions to achieve goals, as people are often conditioned by diet culture and may struggle with the concept of reducing rather than accumulating.
