S8 EP24: The Power Of Waiting: Delayed Gratification

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. 


Listen in to hear Kelsea and Rachael discuss tips, tricks, and
strategies to develop this skill, and how to put it into
practice.
