I mentioned yesterday that different behaviours make us feel better.
Some short term.
Some longer term.
It’s a different kinda “feeling better” though.
Gratification.
Satisfaction.
“pleasure, especially when gained from the indulgence of a desire”
“fulfilment of one’s wishes, expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from this”
Gratification is temporary.
It’s a removal of that desire.
The filling of a “hole”.
Once that “itch has been scratched” the pleasure is gone.
Satisfaction lasts.
It’s that continued fulfilment.
Often from something that was harder to start with.
That had more of a short term downside than other options.
Time, cost, effort, energy, lost opportunity.
But brings a greater long term benefit and pleasure.
Both are great.
Both have their place.
A life with just one isn’t a life that anyone wants to live.
As I said yesterday, balance is key (check www.myrise.co.uk/apply if your balance isn’t quite there) .
Too much of one and not enough of the other leaves us ‘out of whack’.
And knowing the difference is that crucial first step.
Knowing whether a choice will bring us gratification or satisfaction may affect our choice.
And may just help us address that balance.
