I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " will·pow·er "
//: control exerted to do something or restrain impulses:
"most of our bad habits are due to laziness or lack of willpower" ·
**Quote of the day:
"You don't find willpower, you create it. - anonymous
And
"Will power is a muscle the more you use it, the stronger it gets."
Willpower is the ability to control one's actions, especially when facing difficult or tempting situations. It involves delaying gratification, resisting impulses, and overriding unwanted thoughts or feelings. It is part of how humans make decisions and pursue long-term goals.
It goes by many names: drive, determination, self-discipline, self-control, resolve. At its simplest, willpower is the ability to control or restrain yourself, and the ability to resist instant gratification in order to achieve long-term goals.
According to the American Psychological Association Some other definitions of willpower include:
- The abilitity to override an unwanted thought, feeling, or impulse's
- the ability to employ a "cool" cognitive system of behavior rather than a "hot" emotional system
- the conscious, effortful regulation of the self, by the self (being able to tell yourself to check yourself!!)
Some experts believe that humans have only a limited supply of willpower and that it decreases with overuse. I'm sorry I do not believe that. I think that is just laziness. YES, you can get just completely burnt out, tired and want to take the easy road and react like an asshole but a little willpower will help you accomplish such a variety of goals, including just being a better person.
While many people struggle with willpower and self-control, and act, yes act like they cannot change, you can. Willpower is just like a muscle and can be strengthened with a whole lot of time and effort.
During these times that we live in, it does take a little extra effort of taking care of ourselves so that when the world is trying to steal your smile you sucker kiss them back!
Getting enough sleep,
meditating
exercising & feeding your brain with good for ya food
Develop Small but Powerful Habits
Make a Manageable To-Do List
And remember your "why"-
What is the purpose of changing our behavior and learning how to gain willpower in the first place? What are we trying to accomplish, and what will we lose if we give in to our bad habits?
When you CONSISTENTLY remind ourselves of the answers to these questions, your willpower will increase to stick to your plans!
You can do this! I believe in you!!
