Totally agree with basically everything you said. I think when I was a kid, I would've failed the marshmallow test, but one day my mum saw me eating my lunch or whatever(I would've been about 5 or 6), and she said, "why don't you save the cookie for the end. That way, when you get to eat you're favourite part, it'll be more enjoyable, because you've waited for it, and you don't have to eat the less enjoyable stuff afterwards. To the mind of a 5 year old, this was basically like an epiphany to me😂. It sort of allows you to see the world in a new light: if I'm patient, I can experience a better outcome in the long run.

[@silverwolf9001]

HOT TAKE: As a psychology major in college and as a guy who enjoys gaming, I think you are 100% right. I like how you addressed that easy and enjoyable activities are very distracting, but I don't think one should skip them completely, rather reduce/limit them. Gaming, for example, isn't wrong or bad in and of itself. If you have some obligations you really need to focus on (i.e. exams, projects, crucial tasks) at hand, then put your gaming on hold (unless it's part of your job; i.e. esports player/content creator) so that you can succeed in said task. After that, you can reward yourself in the end, but with limits. MODERATION IS KEY. Same goes for TV, junk food, social media and stuff. As I said, I suggest ideally strictly limiting consuming content to reasonable doses for self-rewarding after succeeding a hard task (homework, gym session, etc.) See, Instant gratification is like eating a whole tub of ice cream for dinner. Ice cream is delicious but very unhealthy in that big of a quantity. Delaying gratification is like instead eating an actually healthy dinner such as a fish/chicken/beef filet (imitation if you're vegan) with a side of potatoes and spinach, followed by a small serving of your top favorite ice cream flavor. The protein and vegetables actually have nutritional value, but they don't provide the same dopamine high as ice cream. You eat the protein and veggies, first, but in my version, you don't skip the ice cream completely. Just only take one small scoop for dessert.

[@fran2911]

That's not a hot take imo

[@milocero]

Yep, I find that the times I try to be too strict about being focused and do the “right thing”, eventually I bounce back hard, so ideally you want to find a balance that you can sustain over time

[@aloe7794]

I'm completely not a psychologist, but what I've noticed after paying some attention to my surroundings is that changing your mindset helps tremendously. Changing the way you think about some processess and outcomes can help you see the bigger picture. For example, I remember having troubles with studying for tests, thinking that I violate some sort of my "right to feel good" and that I'm not doing something that feels pleasant, as such I would be hurting myself and that would be against what I do want to do for myself. And while that worked for a long time, eventually I started thinking another way instead: "but if I don't actually study for the test, I'm going to feel even worse that I've failed it, and I'm going to hurt myself either way". This helped me massively, and not only with just studying, but it also shone some light on some other shitty habits I've maintained over the course of my life, like waking up at 4am for a longer day. (I hope what I wrote here made enough sense)

[@stephanybeltran7083]

I think for the marshmallow test I’d like to know more about the differences between the home lives of the instant gratification kids vs delayed gratification kids. A lot of the adult consequences of seeking instant gratification, drug usage, debt, health issues, etc., are also symptoms of growing up in abusive/neglectful households. Or maybe just growing up poor where your parents were trying real hard but couldn’t provide all the essentials like their full attention for deep connection, nutritious meals, social interaction, etc. So what were these children lacking that they couldn’t wait to satisfy this urge? Maybe a patient adult that can teach them discipline? Idk it just feels shitty to put it all on these kids’ impulse control. Like either you’re born with it or not. I think it can be more helpful for people that do have impulse control issues to have more context and understand what they can improve on. For example whenever I don’t eat lots of fiber and nutrient rich foods, like fruits and veg, I find myself craving shitty food a lot more and caving into these cravings. I could label it as an impulse control issue like fuck I can’t control my cravings vs I’ve been eating like crap so my body is desperate for more food because it hasn’t received what it actually needs. For those of you that struggle to eat enough fruits and veggies I recently started making liquid salad. It’s just throwing a bunch of fruits, greens, and veggies into a blender and drinking it up. If you put in lots of blue berries and other fruits it’s not that gross 😅 it’s helped me tons and relieves a ton of stress and pressure to cook veggies.

What wasn't explained about marshmallows experiment is that " some group of children were being told that they would get another Marshmallow but they didn't. So the scientists found that" when we "miss trust" the we use instant gratification because we are not sure if we will get it in the future, so better to have now. Poverty is a big factor as well.

[@Kai.Bolton]

As a victim of the mindset of someone indulging in instant gratification, I can easily say that the delayed gratification has re-shaped my life for good. Anything I do now I simply ask, Does this benefit now or hurt after or does it hurt now and benefit after? I have realized that literally anything that feels good now is always bad after. Imagine being able to see your old selfs routine in a day to see what you did. For me, if I were to watch my old self, I would've woken up at 11am, grabbed my phone, sit on tiktok for a few hours, nap, games etc and do it again the next day. The rewards from your efforts are far greater than the rewards from no effort.

[@michelleanntaylor5101]

I’m 49 and this makes sense, sounds right. Thank you pls keep ‘‘em coming !

[@virgovlog-vlog]

As a psych graduate, you explained the concept of Id, Ego, and Superego much better than my professors 😆great work btw, you delved deeper into the basis of delayed gratification instead of just telling people to stop scrolling on social media

[@LIFEBLISSFUL]

As a human we are so powerful to overcome anything if we want to thanks for sharing this knowledge 👏🏻👏🏻

[@deonmathew4926]

this was dope as hell. i've been feeling like im stuck for so long and couldn't pinpoint exactly what- I knew I needed more discipline in my life, but this video really clarified whats been lacking and what ive been doing too much of- acting on my Id, or my primal instincts and gratifying my needs without working for it. thank you for this video!! its nice to see a lot of us awakening and becoming more self aware

[@phreshjooz6147]

This video was a genuine look at the world as it is, whether that be positive or negative. I def gained something out of it. Thank you for the effort you put in.

[@MaximusPerryy]

Make more of this stuff. Telling people what they need to hear because most things don't tell anything and if it does it just feeds them dopamine and early gratification by telling them what they WANT to hear

[@carollutsinger3910]

as an 80 year old mom of 3 and grandmother of 5 who has seen the results of waiting and instant gratification I can say this is a powerful talk and I shared it on my FB page. I teach teens in our church Bible study time and I was looking for something like this-I daren't mention sex to them but your talk mentioned it in passing and I am good with that. So many problems could be eliminated by WAITING for gratification. Thank you for the perfect resource to share.

It was inspiring, it made me follow you. I have been working on decreasing my dopamine, and yes, the first thing I cut out was checking my phone first thing in the morning. I journal instead, then meditate, take an ice bath, make a coffee and go outside THEN I check my phone. it is constantly on do not disturb when I am working on my Shopify store (you like what I did there?) and I have to say, I've improved my life and overall mental health by 60% Fitness is huge too, when you are training to wake up early and challenge your body, it translates well to other aspects of your life. I also write my goals for each week down on post it notes so my goals aren't out of sight out of mind, but giving myself a margin of at least 70% completion in case I am not able to tackle all goals and fall into self loathing for not completing all my goals I hope to see more content like this. And I hope it helps as many people as possible to become the better version of themselves.

Delaying my gratification for more rewards inspire me Todo more hard work, Hard work is key to success. Thanks for making this great video, it's very helpful learn about dopamine psychology.

[@ArteKuno10]

Super helpful, we usually go for the easy stuff, and it breaks our strength to get to thing that really matters to us.

[@ccurlyfriezwannaspritecran1682]

Hi! I really enjoyed this new video style you're trying out. I'm really glad you brought attention to how bad instant gratification is. I'm currently a freshman and at the stage in my life in which I'm trying to become the best person I can be (flexible, positive, kind to themselves, hardworking) and I really got how important delaying instant gratification is when you used the example of working out. I've finally gotten to a stage where I see a lot of progress as a piano player after playing for 7 years and I needed that little reminder that everything takes time. So thank you. (BTW in liking I accidentally disliked that was my b, disregard that)

[@thebig420guy6]

i learned these things as a kid, but it didn't seem to matter. You have opened my eyes. Thank you!

[@kennyyro]

yeah, mental health is important and I appreciate this type of video please make more addressing meatal health and steps you see we can follow to become better and more successful people.

[@samlab2935]

i jus want to add to that already very good informational video that in order to restore how you indulge in dopamine you must ‘’cleanse’’ its gonna be worst before its better, its gonna be painful mentally even physically if you have drug / foods addiction. Dont give up it feel so good to be in control and actually see your whole life get better

[@cozumel617]

Very well said. Took psychology in college and I am very impressed with the way you explained freud

[@asadkhalid8840]

Delayed gratification is motivating cuz i'm tired of instead rewards of dopamine. when i know that delayed gratification is gonna be rewarding in a lone run it feels like really achieving something.

[@st.protejay]

the simple explanation and tying it all together made this a whole lot more digestible, fuck with the video brodie!

[@isabellapulidom]

I’ve been reading “Think like a monk” by Jay Sherry and this complements it extremely well, thank you for putting the time and effort into making it

[@viacheslavgrebennikov5346]

i like the part when he told that i should decide myself what exactly i need to do to stop indulge in these bad dopamine things

[@mai-bz2rk]

this is actually the first time i heard about the marshmallow experiment and im so glad you included it in this video!

[@zachh6868]

the algorithm has decided I shall watch this. I put it in my watch later, so I was planning on watching it, but this is like the 7th time it's shown up in my feed

[@larryfeatherstone1823]

Thanks for this video. Was looking for content on delayed gratification for my Sunday school class and I think the marshmallow test is exactly what I need.

[@duragtoby]

when you are in the moment of choosing between instant gratification and dopamine and delaying it and doing what you need to do, it truly feels like an inner battle in your head! but it is a process. i am in the process of dropping a very bad mental habit. i cannot purposely do it now otherwise i will feel very bad. but when the urge comes you have to say no over and over in your head. i believe in everyone!😊

[@samchui2617]

[@estefysalinas8073]

The best year of my life to this day was the one that I finally were able to stop using my phone for entertainment, I'm in the process of doing that again because it really makes a huge difference.

[@adriendelin]

Just knowing from where all these thoughts come from, makes me feel more confident to control myself.

[@samchui2617]

🎉🎉🎉🎉.

[@omdave5095]

Delayed gratification is so important these days. This video boosted my process of delayed gratification. Someone even advised me to turn my phone to b/w to reduce the screen time and it's working very well!! Keep up brothers ❤️

[@Bondisaurus]

I’m digging this black and white alternative.

[@rafe496]

New sub. I’m 48 and you sound like a Gen-Xer here which I have to say I love. Patience IS a Virtue. Very well articulated here my friend.

[@ashleyndenzi]

woooww, honestly something I need to hear and insightful on the "habits that feel wrong" is good indication. It is a marathon, not a race
