068 Understanding Short Term Gratification

Join me as I discuss why chasing the short-term hit is killing you...

Where a lot of us live these days is in the continual cycle of short-term gratification of short-term pleasure. Which, in essence, is also the avoidance of short-term pain.

Choosing the quick dopamine hit, the short-term gratification, that piece of pleasure.

It could be drinking, quick and easy sex, alcohol, drugs, porn, tv, or social media... none of these things are necessarily good or bad, but if we're using them to avoid, distract or numb feeling something uncomfortable - We're chasing short-term pleasure to avoid, short-term pain.

As always, if you have questions about it - ask me. Hit me on social media @mikecampbellmc on Instagram or @Mike Campbell Man Coach on Facebook.
