Willpower is like any other muscle. If you do not work it out it will not get any stronger. It is a muscle that can be easily undervalued. To start exercising willpower try the art of simply resisting an impulse of small magnitude. Working on the choice that will re-enforce healthier habits. A simple example would be I will drink more water instead of other liquid substitutes. It seems small at first, but if achieved the willpower of saying no to the other foreign liquids and an embracing of the water, a muscle has been formed. It can be a small step to achieving other goals in life as well. Also if that newly developed muscle is not kept working it will fall again. Consistent action to training willpower is not temporary, it is a forever life goal. It is a road full of ups and downs.
Willpower just has to start somewhere, where it starts it up to us. When we are ready for the journey great experiences will await us. Just do not wait to long.
