Instant gratification is the immediate satisfaction we feel when fulfilling desires, while delayed gratification involves sacrificing short-term rewards for greater long-term benefits.
There are actually two types of instant gratification.
There’s instant gratification that provides ‘goal oriented satisfaction’. These positive actions serve as stepping stones that align with our ultimate outcomes. This type of instant gratification provides immediate rewards, while moving toward your goals, and can be enjoyable along the way.
Another type of instant gratification is where self-sabotage enters the picture, and steers you away from your goals.
Delayed gratification is the act of resisting an impulse to take an immediate reward in the hope of obtaining a more-valued reward in the future.
