"The ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals."
Without the mentality of challenging yourself day in & day out, trying your hardest, I'd say Your Willpower is low. People who are achievers have a strong sense of willpower. It's the focus of the energy that you're putting out to see what you can get back.
Willpower plays in every situation when it comes to anything; if you want to achieve a certain physique, you must have the willpower to stay with it, be consistent & wait patiently for results.
If you're low on Willpower, here's some techniques that I use:
- In order to increase willpower, you must gain sense of your mind, control who you are, & don't be afraid of losing because losing is not losing, you're simply learning.
- Do the things that may not be necessary but is so. For example, making your bed or cleaning up after yourself when it should be cleaned up. This'll improve your determination, your focus and rewires yourself to be more on track. You're increasing your good habit, the more you focus on good habits, the more willpower you'll gain. Willpower is a self-reward feeling.
- Fitness may improve willpower.
- Rest. Without plenty of rest, you'll feel irritated, foggy, & uneasy. Rest is surely important for everyone. It'll boost everything.
- Be consistent. Being consistent of what you're doing day in n day out will help you maintain your ability to focus, be determined, and have that drive to succeed/complete something. This'll also reward yourself, it's a good feeling knowing that you're doing the things that seem right & knowing that you're seeing results. Consistency is the key.
At the end, willpower is something that you must determine, not everyone has the willpower to do everything everysingle day, day in & day out. It is tiring, but for those achievers, they have a high sense of willpower. Low willpower is not bad, it just something that people look at or whatever your goal is in life, you're setting yourself up for whatever is coming your way.
