How To Say 'No!' to Almost Anything

We all wish we had the self-control to say, "No," to certain things and the willpower to say, "Yes!" to other things. It's almost like we have two brains that are fighting against each other.

We talked with Kelly McGonigal, author of, "The Willpower Instinct," about this inner conflict we often feel and she helps us break down willpower into three different powers:

1) I Will Power
2) I Won't Power
3) I Want Power

Check out her book on Amazon at the link below.

The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do To Get More of It

I will not, I will, I want. I will not feed myself junk food, I will feed myself healthy food, I want to live healthy, strong and happy.

This is one of those things that make us human "different" from all the other life forms. We should be proud.

I really wanted the smart brain to slap the other brain. that'd be hilarious

[seetheart]

I've been the most successful at harnessing my willpower, not by resisting temptation, but by replacing destructive urges with constructive ones, and then rewarding myself with self-praise or pleasure.

[lucianase]

I will, want and won't. Brilliant!! Thank you for this

[stoicfloor]

Amazing! It is so cool to have read the book before watching this video.
The animation is super cute and I love them!

[Firesoar]

I have to work on a project for class tomorrow and study for a midterm exam.
