WILLPOWER!
I keep hearing this word a lot.
“I’m running out of willpower”
“I have no willpower”
Some of you might manage to make it thorough the whole day “eating well” then find yourself raiding the fridge, emotionally eating the rest of the week.
Or “being good” with your food Monday to Friday then ruin it at the weekend.
Or the worst one, your on a roll for 3 weeks hitting the gym, your nutrition is on point. Then set yourself back to square one with the “f**k it” button.
Whichever one of these is your worst enemy, it can leave you feeling deflated, demoralised and questioning yourself if you have the willpower to even reach your goals.
Yet this is always the problem!
You don’t really understand willpower.
Willpower isn’t some gift.
No matter who you are, you don’t have infinite willpower.
Flip the switch, realise that your willpower is like a battery: it needs to reset and it only has so much power before it runs out.
A lot of the time willpower isn’t the issue. It’s a structure issue.
For example, fixing little things in your daily routine like preparing your meals for work, getting to bed earlier, taking the snacks out of the house.
Having more structure requires less willpower, so you have more power in the battery when it really matters 👌🏼
Have a good week 💪🏼
