I wanted to share some quotes from a book that I'm currently reading:
"Willpower is actually three powers — I will, I won't, and I want — that help us to be a better version of ourselves."
"'I will' power challenge: What is something that you would like to do more of, or stop putting off, because you know that doing it will improve the quality of your life?
'I won't' power challenge: What is the 'stickiest' habit in your life? What would you like to give up or do less of because it's undermining your health, happiness, or success?
'I want' power challenge: What is the most important long-term goal you'd like to focus your energy on? What immediate 'want' is most likely to distract you or tempt you away from this goal?"
"Without self-awareness, the self-control system would be useless. You need to recognize when you’re making a choice that requires willpower; otherwise, the brain always defaults to what is easiest."
~ Kelly McGonigal, The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do To Get More of It
