What does "willpower" mean to you?

10/9/2021

0 Comments

 
​What does the word "willpower" mean to you? Here are three definitions:

  • The ability to exert control or restrain impulses. 

  • The ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals. The capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling, or impulse.
    ​

  • The motivation to exercise will. A person with strong willpower will assert decisions even in the face of strong opposition or other contradictory indicators. A person with little willpower will give in easily. 

At first glance, it seems like willpower is a good thing. And while it can certainly be viewed as an admirable quality to have, how the word makes us feel is a different story. Do you feel positive or happy when you use the word willpower or does it usually come out of your mouth while you are chastising yourself for not having willpower?

How we feel impacts our success and that's why I'm on a mission to remove the word willpower from the equation for healthy lifestyle choices. You don't need willpower to reach your goals! 

If you don't need willpower, you may be wondering what you need instead. I'm so glad you asked!  If you've got fitness or weight loss goals and you've been beating yourself up for not having enough willpower, join me LIVE at one of my upcoming masterclasses to find out the simple steps that make willpower a non-factor!

I'd love to see you!
