How do I strengthen my willpower?

[Anonymous]

I have a very weak willpower. I end up procrastinating so much as a result. I have no self-control.

How do I strengthen it?

Whether this is in the topic of health and fitness, or just I find in general ( I am a certified gym instructor and this is a known teaching point) is to set a goal:
This could be short, like telling urself I'll stop in another five minutes every give minutes
Or setting a target that u need to get to, like I'll stop when I reach this much
Another thing that some people find is to set an imaginary thing, so it there is something u really want tell urself if I do this I'll get it, even though u won't but by the end of that time ull feel the same as if u did nothing, but u would have accomplished the task

Hope this helps! :)

you have to will yourself. there is no other way.

I remember in a philosophy class I took a few years ago, we looked at a quote from a guy who lived a long time ago lmao Which is pretty general, but it said something like, you become what you practice. He meant it in the context of what makes a person good or bad, but I feel like the same can be said for willpower as well. Just like anything else, will can be exercised like a muscle, and will get stronger over time. You have to force yourself to go to the gym, start your school assignments, study, and eat healthy. Over time, it'll get easier and it'll become natural for you to do.

You need a sensei or someone to slap some sense into you... someone here that can do that @kambo_tricky

Haha, even I can't do that abundant. That strength has to come from within :P

[abundantlyrich]

@kambo_trick3y but... but you said your words work on idiots...

[kambo_trick3y]

He's not an idiot though :P

He realizes that he has a problem and he's trying to find inner strength.

That's smarter than most people actually :P

[abundantlyrich]

@kambo_trick3y we'll see about that... :P

kambo says you're not, so you're not.

[Asker]

But you originally called me one. It's okay though. :)
