The definition of willpower is "the ability of one to control one self and determine one's actions". I think on this basis we could all benefit from a bit more of this in many areas of our lives. The question is how does one get this?
Well it really starts with determining just how much do you want it. Then you have to practice and practice to change habits and attitudes little by little in order to move yourself towards achieving what you want. The idea is that the gradual moves towards it will start to show you the benefits and spur you on whilst making you realise how much you want it. Eventually you will be living it.
Last night I did my second Pilates and Zumba double bill - with the lovely Tanith Lee in Haywards Heath. I genuinely thought I would struggle and feel rubbish. In reality it was a joy and I felt great - all hot and sweaty but still got that glowing sense of wellbeing today. So - guess what - I want to go again on Thursday. Slowly but surely change is creeping in. My willpower is growing with it. Why not take a look and make a list of what you want in your life. What changes could you make to push yourself (bit by bit) towards that goal. How can you build your determination and incentive to actually go for it and reach it?
Anyone get anymore good ideas about how to build will power - please share?
