ANTICIPATION

Anticipation is the act of looking forward to something. Anticipation offers powerful psychological and emotional benefits. It’s more than just waiting for an event; it enhances joy, motivation, and even mental health. We live in a world full of instant gratification. Just look at the smart phone you are likely holding to read this post and how the smart phone has changed your life and thought process.

 Living in this fast-paced world makes things more convenient and more productive. How do you think this lifestyle change has impacted your mental health? What have you tried (that may be foreign concepts to your children) to promote anticipation versus instant gratification?
