If willpower is like muscle, according to some scientists, the tips can help to develop it.

We are constantly looking for ways to do more, but let's to be realistic about what can and what cannot be achieved through force alone will.

Instead of having to make a decision at a specific point in time planning "if-then" allows you to proactively develop a defense plan to when the time comes, we already had the right solution.

But, unfortunately, we are not always able to plan ahead for future events; in such cases, do you need to apply willpower.

Physiologist Roy F. Baumeister and author of scientific publications John Tierney, who wrote a book about willpower, believe that it is similar to the muscles. Willpower can be strengthened through proper nutrition and exercise, but it is also prone to fatigue.
