How to resist temptation? Two solutions – delayed gratification and distraction

Let’s say you want to resist doing something. How do you do that?

According to a study nicely explained by Joachim de POSADA, the solution is quite simple:
– Delayed gratification – think of the benefit you can get of resisting the urge to do that thing;
– Distraction – focus your mind on something else, snap out of it.
