Interesting experiment they did years ago. The put children in a room and told them if thy could go 5 minutes without eating the marshmallow in front of them they would get a second marshmallow. The result? Personality traits, self-discipline, innate behaviors were far less of a factor than the kids who simply distracted themselves for 5 minutes. Note for us all – our environments, the people we hangout with and what we focus on everyday will impact us and eventually lead to emotions and behaviors. Don’t go to therapy or work on your self-discipline! Just go find environments and friends that distract you from the behaviors and thoughts you want to avoid and inspire you to behave and feel the way you want to!
