Happy Wednesday, !
🤔Willpower is a limited resource.
🙈 . 🙉 . 🙊
🔥IT DEPENDS 🔥
🧠🔬New research shows that the answer is all in YOUR mindset.
If you think you only have a limited amount of willpower, you are right.
And if you think you have plenty of it, you’re also right. Here’s a little background: back in the 1990s, scientists came up with a theory called “ego depletion,” which basically suggested that willpower is a limited resource.
👉They thought that if you were tired or stressed, you were more likely to run out of willpower.
BUT… new research suggests that may only apply if you believe it.
🔥The good news is that now you can take back control (and personal responsibility!) over your actions — and stop relying on willpower to see you through.
One way to do that: the next time you feel like you don’t have willpower, switch into PROBLEM-SOLVING MODE.
❓Ask yourself: Why do you feel like your willpower is slipping? When you know WHY, you can do something about the root cause.
What do you think? Is willpower an issue for you? 💭🤔
