What does this mean for you?
Just like every other life situation, our own self-talk and beliefs determine how we handle difficult situations.
This means that how you think about willpower can actually translate to how you act, and that can mean better results.
For example, if you’re having trouble finding the motivation to get to the gym, or you’re tired of white-knuckling yourself away from the refrigerator, try simply re-framing the situation.
Tell yourself that every time you work on a challenging task you become more capable of rocking the next one.
That mindset alone can make you feel more empowered.
Oh, and if you’re a coach, this is powerful stuff.
You can use it to help your clients think about motivation differently, so they feel energized and empowered, rather than fatigued and exhausted as they make big changes in their lives. With your guidance, they can act more consistently, and see better results.
