[122] Self-Regulation A VIA Strength

from Every Day Genius · host Michele Jennae

The most cited study on self-regulation is about children set up in a room with the temptation of a marshmallow. Those who resisted the longest were found to be the most successful years later. What most articles and books that cite this study seem to imply is that either we have self-regulation or we don't. Today I explore this strength, and with the help of author Susan Fowler, we discover that there's more to self-regulation than mere temptation. ~~~~Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ. Every Day Genius is about YOU!As someone who was stuck for years in the cognitive dissonance of wanting to step into Brilliance, but settling for lackluster, It's MY MISSION to show you your inherent Genius and help you shine.Go from sepia-toned existence to Vibrant Living!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EDGx365.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook.com/edgx365⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
