Self-Control: The Marshmallow Test

This month, iLEAD is focusing on the monthly SLO: Self-Control. Are you able to control your emotions and impulses in order to achieve a greater goal? Don’t be too hard on yourself if the answer is no, because studies have shown that self-control is not a stagnant trait and it can be improved with practice over time.

As you watch this video, you may want to reflect on the following questions:

1. Do you come prepared to events and activities that you are attending?
2. Do you get to work and avoid distractions?
3. Do you remain calm in stressful situations?
4. Do you have the willpower to resist the “marshmallow”?
